Abstract :
Plasma jet devices generate plasmas in an open space (surrounding air) rather than in lieu of confined discharge gaps. Hence, they can be used for direct treatment and there is also no limitation on the size of the object. However, to the best of our knowledge, the dimensions of plasma jet nozzles that have been reported in the literature are mainly very small (sub-millimeter to several millimeters) making treatment of a large area difficult, only few large plasma jets are developed. One way to overcome this shortcoming is the use of plasma jet arrays. However, since individual plasma plumes generated by these plasma jet arrays are independent and not merged, it is relatively difficult to achieve uniform treatment effects.
