Abstract

The role of electron impact in the dissociation of n-heptane in an atmospheric-pressure microwave discharge in liquid n-heptane was investigated using a self-consistent two-dimensional model. The model includes the Navier–Stokes equations for a two-phase subsonic flow of incompressible liquid and compressible gas, the heat conduction equation, Maxwell’s equations for the microwave field, the Boltzmann equation for plasma electrons, and the balance equations for the electron density and weight fraction of n-heptane in the gaseous and liquid phases. It is shown that the effect of electron impact is negligible at times longer than 10–3 s.
