Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. Effect of non-thermal plasma on flame was experimentally investigated with a sooting C/sub 2/H/sub 4/ diffusion flame. The start of this study is based on the reduction of particulate materials (PM) emitted from diesel car. The effect of AC corona on size and number concentration of soot agglomerates emitted from the flame was compared with that of DC corona for the same electrical current. The results show that the reduction of soot emission was less effective for AC corona than DC corona for the experimental conditions selected.
