  • In this paper, the removal rate of NO in a reactor is measured first using nonthermal plasma generated from a wire-cylinder type reactor, then the spatial density distribution of NO particles is investigated using ICCD(Intensified Charged Coupled Device) camera. This research uses nonthermal plasma from electrical discharge to analyze the NO characteristics, and the measurements of NO discharge image and Distribution are performed using the ICCD camera to examine the NO characteristics more closely. Furthermore, the method of Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) is used to analyze the particular behavior of NO particles more specifically, to suggest a method of reducing exhaust gas, a serious environmental problem.

  • In this parer, the removal rate of NO in a reactor is rreasured first using nonthermal plasma generated from a wire-cylinder type reactor, then the discharge image and horizontal signal strength and vertical signal strength of NO particles is observed using ICCD(Intensified Charged Coupled Device) carrera It was fOlmd that NO rerroval rate was iflLTeased with NO concentration c1ecreasing, and that honzontal signal strength and vertical signal strength were also increased with NO concentration decreasing. Especially, this research is a1!Tffl at clarifying the discharge mechanism of NO particles by observing the images of AC discharge wnen the nonthermal plasma generated by an discharge was used.

  • An assessment of a novel laser-electric hybrid propulsion system was conducted, in which a laser-induced plasma was induced through laser beam irradiation onto a solid target and accelerated by electrical means instead of direct acceleration only by using a laser beam. A fundamental study of newly developed rectangular laser-assisted pulsed-plasma thruster (PPT) was conducted. On discharge characteristics and thrust performances with increased peak current compared to our previous study to increase effects of electromagnetic forces on plasma acceleration. Maximum peak current increased for our early study by increasing electromagnetic effects in a laser assisted PPT. At 8.65 J discharge energy, the maximum current reached about 8000 A. Plasma behaviors emitted from a thruster in various cases were observed with an ICCD camera. It was shown that the plasma behaviors were almost identical between low and high voltage cases in initial several hundred nanoseconds, however, plasma emission with longer duration was observed in higher voltage cases. Canted current sheet structures were also observed in the higher voltage cases using a larger capacitor. With a newly developed torsion-balance type thrust stand, thrust performances of laser assisted PPT could be estimated. The impulse bit and specific impulse linearly increased. On the other hand, coupling coefficient and the thrust efficiency did not increase linearly. The coupling coefficient decreased with energy showing maximum value (20.8 ?Nsec/J) at 0 J, or in a pure laser ablation cases. Thrust efficiency first decreased with energy from 0 to 1.4 J and then increased linearly with energy from 1.4 J to 8.6 J. At 8.65 J operation, impulse bit of 38.1 ?Nsec, specific impulse of 3791 sec, thrust efficiency of 8 %, and coupling coefficient of 4.3 ?Nsec/J were obtained.
