Application of dimensional analysis for prediction of NOx removal

This paper proposes a mathematical modelling by using dimensional analysis in investigating the relation of the electrical and physical parameters on the removal of nitrogen oxides (NO_x) concentration, by means of a hybrid pulsed streamer discharge plasma. To verify the viability of the equation, an experiment using discharge reactor was conducted. A pair of perforated metal electrodes was used, with glass and alumina ceramic forming a dielectric barrier. Concentration of NO_x is measured and compared with theoretical calculations. It is verified that the predictions results is generally agree with the experimental findings.
