TITLE TO BE THE SAME AS FRONT COVER

ABSTRACT

Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) is a form of gas discharge by inserting dielectric layers into the discharge regimes. It is a non-thermal discharge under atmospheric pressure and can generate low-temperature plasma in the air. The plasma actuator which can generate the surface discharge has been designed and fabricated. The principles in relate to plasma formation process, electrical performances, and the unavoidable material degradation phenomenon were investigated. The plasma characteristics were analysed by images captured with a high-speed thermal infrared (IR) camera, by studying the operation cycles and the self-organizing of the microdischarges. The plasma which was in non-thermal-equilibrium stage was investigated. The electrical performances in terms of electrical limit and discharge power were studied. Scaling laws for discharge power were elucidated. The relationship between the maximum electric field and the total discharge-free surface area on the plasma actuators was investigated. Electrode geometries, e.g. total electrodes of an actuator were found to have little effect on the generated discharge power. This discharge power, however, was mainly affected by the driving frequency and voltage as well as the dielectric geometries.The degradation of the dielectric was observed after the plasma operation. Effects of the operation period, magnitude of the driving voltage and electrode geometry on the degradation severity were discussed. Overall, the driving voltage to the plasma actuators was found to be the dominant factor and an improved actuator design was suggested to reduce the undesired damages on the plasma actuator surfaces.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1Background

Spacing between title of subsection and first line of text is 1.5 lines. The first paragraph in a subsection should align with left margin. General alignment for texts in paragraph should be “justified”.

Spacing between paragraphs is 1.5 lines. Subsequence paragraphs should be indented 1.27 cm (0.5 inch) from the left margin. General alignment for texts in paragraph should be “justified”. Spacing between last line of text and the next subsection title is 4.5 lines (Chang et al., 1995).

1.2Problem Statements

Spacing between title of subsection and first line of text is 1.5 lines(Mohan, 2004). General alignment for texts in paragraph should be “justified”(Eliasson and Kogelschatz, 1991).

A new paragraph should NOT begin on the last line of a page. A subsection title should NOT begin on the last line of a page. A new chapter must start on a new page. Spacing between the last line of text and equation is 1.5 lines.

(1.1)

where

G1 = specific mass flow rate, kg/s

 = density, kg/m3

T = temperature, K

ho = xxx, m

Spacing between the equation and first line of text is 1.5 lines. Equation should be centred, but its numbering should align with right margin.

(1.2)

where

G2 = specific mass flow rate, kg/s

 = density, kg/m3

Spacing between the equation and first line of text is 1.5 lines. Equation should be centred, but its numbering should align with right margin.

1.3Aims and Objectives

The objectives of the thesis are shown as following:

i)To define the principles of a plasma actuator.

ii)To characterize the electrical performances of plasma actuator

iii)To studythe material degradation on the plasma actuator surfaces.
