| Research Abstract |
In order to make an optimized low-temperature plasma, changing pulse width and its frequency was found to cause the ignition probability. Also, the effect of fuel on the ignition characteristics was examined due to the effect of radicals generated by the plasma.
As the future work, higher ignition energy is demanded due to boosted and diluted combustion, the wear of the plug should be the problem while low-temperature plasma would not cause such a problem. Thereby, the low-temperature pulse plasma system has an advantage to the conventional system, but the reductions in cost and size will be the future tasks.
