The removal of nitrogen oxides(NOx) from $N_{2}/O_{2}$ gas using a pulsed corona discharge was investigated as a function of the reduced electric field(E/N) and the energy density(J/L). A kinetic model was developed to characterize the chemical reactions taking place in a pulsed corona discharge reactor. The model calculates the fractional concentrations of radical species at each pulse-on period and utilizes the radicals to remove NOx for the subsequent pulse-off period. Electron collision reaction data are calculated using ELENDIF program to solve Boltzmann equation for electron energy distribution function, and the subsequent chemical reactions are calculated using CHEMKIN-II program to solve stiff ODE(ordinary differential equation) problems for species concentrations. The corona discharge energy per pulse and the time-space averaged E/N were obtained by fitting the model to experimental data. The model calculation shows good agreement with the experimental data, and predicts the formation of other species such as $NO_{2}$, $O_{3}$ and $N_{2}O$.

This paper was carried out to introduce flame retardant and antibiotic properties to polyester(PET) and polyester/cotton(P/C) blend fabrics. PET and P/C blend fabrics were treated by a paddry-cure method in the aqueous solutions of the finishing agents(JA 6034, JA 6050, DC-5700). The corona discharge technique was applied to increase the polar group of the polymer surface. The characteristics of the treated fabric were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis(ESCA), and water penetration time, limiting Oxygen index(LOI), and K/S value were also measured. Wettability of the fabrics was increased considerably with the corona discharge treatment. ESCA was used to elucidate the surface chemical composition of the fabrics treated with the corona discharge. Relative Ols intensity increased and oxygen was incorporated in the form of -C-O-, -C=O, and O=C-O on the polymer surface. The current study indicated that corona discharge treatment was effective for modifying the polymer surface.

Existing cooling technologies no longer provide adequate heat dissipation due to excessive heat generation caused by the growing component density on electronic devices. An ionic gas pump can be used for the thermal management of micro-electronic devices, since the size of pump can be reduced to a micrometer scale. In addition, the gas pump allows for gas flow control and generation without moving parts. This ideal property of gas pump gives rise to a variety of applications. However, all these applications require maximizing the wind velocity of gas pump. In this study a barrier discharge type gas pump, with a needle-shaped corona electrode instead of a plate-shaped corona electrode, has been investigated by focusing on the corona electrode shape on the wind velocity and wind generation yield. As a result, the enhanced wind velocity and wind generation yield of 1.76 and 3.37 times were obtained with the needle-shaped corona electrode as compared with the plate-shaped corona electrode of the proposed barrier discharge type gas pump.

In this paper we investigated the changes of surface hydrophobic characteristics on silicone rubbers by corona discharge treatment and also investigated the distribution and the behavior of low molecular weight(LMW) silicone fluid which was extracted by solvent-extraction with gel permeation chromatography(GPC). It was shown that contact angle was $110.5^{\circ}$ on initial sample but contact angle was approximately decreased to $10^{\circ}$ after 45 minutes. However the surface hydrophobic characteristic on silicone rubbers which were removed from corona discharge was recovered within 5 hours. It was shown that corona discharge insured the increase of diffusible LMW chains, which could lead to recover the surface hydrophobicity. The surface hydrophobic characteristics on silicone rubbers and the recovery mechanism based on our results were discussed.

In this paper, we investigated the post-combustion removal of nitrogen oxide($NO_x$) and sulfur oxide($SO_x$) which is based on the gas to particle conversion process by the pulsed corona discharge. Under normal pressure, the pulsed corona discharge produces the energetic free electrons which dissociate gas molecules to form the active radicals. These radicals cause the chemical reactions that convert $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ into acid mists and these mists react with $NH_3$ to form solid particles. Those particles can be removed from the gas stream by conventional devices such as electrostatic precipitator or bag filter. The reactor geometry was coaxial with an inner wire discharge electrode and an outer ground electrode wrapped on a glass tube. The simulated flue gas with $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ was used in the experiment. The corona discharge reactor was more efficient in removing $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ by adding $NH_3$ and $H_2O$ in the gas stream. We also measured the removal efficiency of $SO_x$ and $NO_x$ in a cylinder type corona discharge reactor and obtained more than 90 % of removal efficiency in these experimental conditions. The effects of process variables such as the inlet concentrations of $SO_x$, $NH_3$ and $H_2O$, residence time, pulse frequencies and applied voltages were investigated.

In this study, the plasma-assisted $CO_2$ conversion characteristics were investigated in the streamer corona discharge and silent discharge reactors with dielectric of $Al_2O_3$, to improve the conversion efficiency $CO_2$. Some discharge characteristics of $CO_2$ as parameters of gap spacing and applied voltage frequency, in both corona and silent discharge reactor were also obtained. The maximum $CO_2$ conversion rate was 10.1 [%] under the 5.2 [W] of discharge power and 250 [Hz] of applied voltage frequency.

We present a simple analytical expression of plasma density by making use of the electron density equation to study the dynamic behavior of the corona discharge plasma. It assumes that a specified voltage profile is fed through the inner conductor of the reactor chamber consisting of two coaxial conducting cylinders. The analytical description is based on the electron continuity equation with ionization and attachment by electrons. It is found that the electron density profile calculated between two coaxial cylindrical electrodes depends very sensitively on the Profile of applied voltage. The analytical expression of plasma density and its generation will provide important scaling laws in the corona discharge plasma.

Corona discharges in air insulated electric power systems cause power loss, produce interfering electromagnetic radiation, and can indicate incipient failure. An understanding of corona discharges in air gap is clearly Important. The Wavelet transformation is an extended method of fourier transformation. The fourier method is a powerful tool for signal analysis, but it can't include information for time. However the wavelet transformation analysis can include on the information of time and frequencies at the same time. In this paper we apply the wavelet transformation to the corona signals in needle-plane air gap for the purpose of analysis of developing aspects of corona discharges. We analyzed the developing aspects of corona discharges, namely, corona discharge current, repetition rates, width of Pulse distribution region, pulseless region and frequencies distribution of corona discharge pulses.

We report the first spectroscopic evidence of the jet-cooled p-chloro-${\alpha}$-methylbenzyl radical. The visible vibronic emission spectrum was recorded from the corona discharge of precursor p-chloro-ethylbenzene seeded in a large amount of inert carrier gas helium using a pinhole-type glass nozzle coupled with a technique of corona excited supersonic expansion. From the comparison with the vibronic spectrum of the p-chlorobenzyl radical, we identified the evidence of formation of the jet-cooled p-chloro-${\alpha}$-methylbenzyl radical in the corona discharge of precursor p-chloro-ethylbenzene.

Polyester(PET) fabrics were treated by corona discharge equipment with the small amount of flame retardants to enhance flame retardancy. The surface properties of corona discharged fabrics were investigated using water penetration time, SEM, ESCA, and TGA. When corona discharge was applied to PET fabrics, the flame retardants were evenly distributed. As a result, the oxygen-containing functional groups were produced, and the LOI value increased. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the flame retardancy was operative by gas-phase mechanism.
