The current general context for green production and decarbonation prompts considering alternative solutions to produce high added value byproducts from gas decomposition without producing CO2. Steam Reforming or Combustion processes, widely applied in Industry, need H2O or O2 to ... En savoir plus
The RF matching network is a critical component positioned between the RF generator and the plasma chamber, designed to transform the plasma impedance to a value suitable for the RF generator. Because the matching network design must be highly customized based on the specific conditions ... En savoir plus
Plasma chambers used for semi-conductor processing are complex machines involving high power inputs and intricate reaction chemistry during operation. Consequently, components of these chambers undergo extreme thermal and mechanical stresses, along with erosion and other forms of damage. ... En savoir plus
Used for welding, cutting, deposition by projection, for the treatement of waste, or in analysis for ICP torches, for the synthesis of high purity silica or for the manufacture of nanometric powders or nanoparticules, thermal plasmas are fundamental in processing of materials and in ...

Increasing energy demands in society have led to intensive fossil fuel usage, resulting in increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, one of the most significant greenhouse gases and major contributors to global warming. Considerable efforts have been made towards CO2 capture, storage, ... En savoir plus
Plasma, a complex fluid consisting of electrons, ions, neutrals, and excited species, exhibits both fluid-like behavior and electrical conductivity due to the presence of charge carriers. Consequently, computational modeling of plasma requires the integration of fluid and electrical ... En savoir plus
Radiofrequency discharges in Hydrogen have a range of applications. In particular, they are used as high-intensity sources of atoms for fundamental and material processing applications. In this study, we investigate a small volume, low pressure RF discharge used to produce Hydrogen ... En savoir plus
The Z-pinch (or zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system used in fusion power research. It relies on an electric current discharge within the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses the plasma, creating conditions conducive to nuclear fusion. The concept of Z-pinch ...
