A study of the hydrogen production from a small plasma converter

Dilute Methane Treatment by Atmospheric Pressure Dielectric Barrier Discharge: Effects of Water Vapor

“…For this application, spark-like discharges such as gliding arcs are sometimes used [3,4]. These studies differ from the present one in that large concentrations of methane are used even when similar discharge technology is considered [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

Waste Heat Recycling for Fuel Reforming

“…It showed that feeding fuel via an intake swirl significantly facilitated the conversion efficiency of methane, and elevated the concentration of hydrogen. Both higher arc frequencies and longer retention time improving hydrogen concentration were also confirmed (Horng et al, 2007). The plasma converter on hydrogen production via methane reforming and the carbon deposit growth on the electrode surface were explored, and the microstructure of carbon was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and micro-Raman spectroscopy (Horng et al, 2006a).…”

Plasma‐Based Production of Hydrogen from Hydrocarbons

“…Using a small-scale plasma converter for small engines, hydrogen was produced through the reformation of ionized methane and air mixture by means of a spark discharge [46]. Hydrogen concentration was improved when the intake gas mixture resided longer in the reaction channel, although the hydrogen volume flow rate revealed an inverse trend.…”
