Abstract :
Stabilization and control of alternating-current glow and pseudoglow discharges have been studied in atmospheric pressure static air and methane flow gas by a pin-to-pin configuration. The electrode configuration and input power control the amplitude and duration of the discharge current and current pulses. Glow and pseudoglow discharges have been applied to the methane conversion.
