The main focus in this study is to determine the stability of the plasma generated by a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor in the presence and without glass beads as dielectric enhancement. The stability of plasma was determined based on plasma temperature which measured within plasma stream. The DBD plasma reactor was designed, fabricated and being operated in an open air system. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) was used to measure the plasma temperature. The applied voltage was increased up to 8 kV to determine breakdown voltage and evaluate plasma stability with and without the presence of glass beads as dielectric enhancement. Experimental results revealed that plasma started to generate at applied voltage about 3.0 kV. Plasma formation found generated with stable at applied voltage 8 kV for both with and without the presence of glass beads. With the presence of glass beads, the plasma temperature found much higher about 180 °C compare with without glass beads which is about 90 °C, and yet the plasma generation is still stable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
