Study of chemical processes in the gliding arc discharge by optical emission spectroscopy
Maďarová, Štefánia ; Töröková, Lucie (referee) ; Mazánková, Věra (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to study the chemical processes of the glow discharge and the sliding arc under the post discharge conditions. The post discharge or afterglow plasma means that the external source of energy is removed from the system and the relaxation process can start. The experiments in bachelor work were performed under the different experimental conditions, for various pressures and gas mixtures. The theoretical part briefly describes term plasma and kinetic processes occurring in plasma generated by electrical discharges. Also there is described the problem of Titan’s atmosphere and possibility of mimic it by the gliding arc discharge. In the experiments, pure nitrogen and a gaseous mixture of nitrogen and methane were used at the same flow rate and different pressures. Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to analyze chemical reaction products. The glow discharge was generated by a DC voltage source and the measurement was in flow mode. The total gas pressure ranged from 1 000-4 000 Pa at a nitrogen flow rate of 400 ml / min and methane of 0.025 ml / min. The current was in the range of 85-150 mA. In all experimental conditions, a well-known phenomenon called “pink afterglow” was observed. This phenomenon corresponds to the maximum intensity of radiation in a stagnant discharge, exhibiting a significant increase in characteristic pink radiation. The optical emission spectra of the discharging discharge were scanned in the wavelength range 540-640 nm. Three spectral nitrogen systems (the first and the second positive and the first negative ones) have been identified in the measured spectra, they have maximum values in the so-called " "Pink-afterglow". These maxims dropped with increasing pressure and shifted to a later decay time.
