Abstract

The results of two-dimensional numerical simulation of positive streamer dynamics in flue gases in sphere-plane electrode configuration are presented. The G-values (numbers of radicals produced per 100 eV of input electrical energy) for the production of chemically active particles participating in flue gas cleaning from toxic components are calculated. Obtained G-values are almost independent on the discharge conditions. Simple estimates for G-values, based on analytical streamer theory, are shown to agree with the results of numerical simulation
