Abstract

Nonthermal plasma-stimulated inflammation of thin alcohol films under the conditions of a microwave surface discharge initiated in quiescent air under atmospheric pressure is realized. The main parameters and properties of the flame due to alcohol inflammation and combustion are studied. It is shown that inflammation occurs when the gas temperature near the antenna is no higher than 1000 K. When the reduced electric field is high, the flame temperature near the antenna reaches 3300 K and the electron concentration equals 2 × 1012 cm−3. The electron temperature during alcohol combustion varies from 0.8 eV at distance y = 10 mm from the antenna surface to 0.3 eV for y = 40 mm.
