Abstract
In this study, a single-outer-spiral electrode with inductance of 20 μH is employed to couple the energy input of a bipolar nanosecond pulse for the purpose of generating a large-scale atmospheric pressure plasma jet. When the spiral electrode is wrapped around a plasma jet tube with a length of 35 cm, the electrical field can be optimized, resulting in a stable laminar flow field, and a plasma jet with a length and diameter larger than 14 cm and 1.2 cm can be generated. A comparative study of the bipolar and unipolar pulse excitation voltages is also conducted, showing that the maximum lengths of the plasma jet excited by a bipolar pulse voltage, positive pulse voltage, and negative are 14 cm, 10 cm, and 7 cm, respectively. The temporal and spatially resolved spectra of the plasma jets excited by both bipolar and unipolar pulses are investigated, respectively, and the main physiochemical processes of the active species and the plasma dynamics’ evolution are discussed.
