Ultrafine Si3N4 and Si3N4+SiC mixed powders were synthesized through thermal plasma chemical vapor deposition(CVD) using a hybrid plasma, which was characterized by the supersposition of a radio-frequency plasma and arc jet. The reactant SiCl4 was injected into an arc jet and completely decomposed in a hybrid plasma, and the second reactant CH4 and/or NH3 mixed with H2 were injected into the tail flame through double stage ring slits. In the case of ultrafine Si3N4 powder synthesis, reaction efficiency increased significantly by double stage injection compared to single stage one, although crystallizing behaviors depended upon injection speed of reactive quenching gas (NH3+N2) and injection method. For the preparation of Si2N4+SiC mixed powders, N/C composition ratio could be controlled by regulating the injection speed of NH3 and/or CH4 reactant and H2 quenching gas mixtures as well as by adjusting the reaction space.

Single particle orbit in plasma is obtained by drift Hamiltonian formulation in magnetic coordinate. The collisional effect is implied by Monte Carlo Method and the velocity space diffusion, energy transfer to the back ground plasma and the variation of energy distribution of test particles are investigated from many particles analysis.

Dynamics of plasma sheath was analyzed using simple ion fluid model with poison equation. Incident ion current, energy, potential distribution and space charge density profile were calculated as a function of time. The effects of initial floating sheath on the evolution of biased sheath were compared with ideal matrix sheath. The effects of finite rising time of pulse bias voltage on the ion current and energy was studied. The influence of surface charging on the evolution of sheath was also investigated

There are difficulties on transport modelling on high density plasma discharge, because of severe restrictions on space grid size and time step size. We present a new unconditionally stable algorithm for fluid simulation of high density process plasma. The origin of the restriction is investigated and a new method to solve the problem is suggested, The simulation result is compared with the other methods previously developed.

A real-time control strategy is presented for plasma control Rather than in-situ plasma variables, this is based on realtime measurements of two electrical positions that correspond to two match motors. Using the rf match monitor system, the positions were collected. The process of impedance matching was identified with variations in process factors, including rf power, pressure, and O$_2$ flow rate. A state-space model was obtained basing on autoregressive moving average model. For this model, a linear quadratic regulator was designed and applied. Simulation results revealed that match positions could accurately be regulated to follow certain positions arbitrarily chosen.

A teflon ionization modeling has been conducted to predict the performance of a PPT(Pulsed Plasma Thruster). One dimensional unsteady circuit model and Teflon ablation model were implemented. The Saha equation was adapted to predict the ionization of Carbon and Fluorine gas. The lumped circuit model including a resistance and a inductance model of a plasma was adapted to predict the magnitude of a discharge current. Numerical simulation results had good agreements with pervious research. The degree of current change according to PPT operating voltage was examined.

Aerodynamic flow control phenomena were investigated with a low-current DC surface discharge plasma actuator. The plasma actuator was found to operate in three different discharge modes with similar discharge currents of about 1 mA or less. Stable continuous DC discharge without audible noise was obtained at higher ballast resistances and lower discharge currents. However, even with continuous DC power input, a low-frequency self-pulsed discharge was obtained at lower ballast resistances, and a high-frequency self-pulsed discharge was obtained at higher set-point currents and higher ballast resistances, both with audible noise. The Schlieren image reveals that the low-frequency self-pulsed mode produces a synthetic jet-like flow implying that a gas heating effect plays a role, even though the discharge current is small. The high-frequency self-pulsed mode produces pulsed jets in a tangent direction, and the continuous DC mode produces a steady straight pressure wave. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) images reveal that the induced flow field by the low-frequency self-pulsed mode has flow propagating in the radial direction and centered between the electrodes. The high-frequency self-pulsed mode and continuous DC mode produce flow from the anode to the cathode. The perturbed region downstream of the cathode is larger in the high-frequency self-pulsed mode with similar maximum speeds.

The PPT being currently developed for the flight model represents a significant leap in techniques and technology compared to the previous flight ones. The electrical energy to be charged in the pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) is a very important aspect to provide an uniform impulse bit ,, and a specific impulse ,, for satellite attitude control. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear control technique and a stability analysis based on the Lyapunov function for the pulsed plasma thruster. Specifically, the proposed control law guarantees to charge and discharge the electrical energy generated from the power processing unit (PPU) within the specified time.

Catalyst-assisted plasma system with a DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) reactor was used to remove hydrogen sulfide, which is one of the odorous species in this study. The ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ and ${\beta}$-Zeolite catalysts impregnated by Ag, Cu and Mn species were employed as catalysts and their $H_2S$ removal characteristics under plasma irradiation were investigated. From the experimental study, we found that the $H_2S$ removal efficiency increases with decreasing space velocity in the system and increasing specific input energy. Furthermore, ${\beta}$-Zeolite catalysts are efficient to remove $H_2S$ than ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ catalysts. Especially, the catalysts impregnated by Ag have higher removal efficiency than other catalysts (Cu, Mn).

The plasma display panel is made of many small discharge cells, which consist of a discharge space between the cathode and anode. An electrical discharge occurs in the discharge space filled by neon and xenon gases. The electron temperature is determined from the sparking criterion, which theoretically estimates the electrical breakdown voltage in terms of the xenon mole fraction. The plasma in the cell emits vacuum ultraviolet lights of 147 nm and 173 nm, exciting fluorescent material and converting VUV lights to visible lights. The physical mechanisms of all these processes have been theoretically modeled and experimentally measured. The theory and experimental data agree reasonably well. However, new materials and better configuration of cells are needed to enhance discharge and light emission efficiency and to improve the PDP performance.
