Abstract
A hybrid artificial neural network−genetic algorithm (ANN−GA) numerical technique was successfully developed to model, to simulate, and to optimize a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor without catalyst and heating. Effects of CH4/CO2 feed ratio, total feed flow rate, and discharge voltage on the performance of noncatalytic DBD plasma reactor were studied by an ANN-based simulation with a good fitting. From the multiobjectives optimization, the Pareto optimal solutions and corresponding optimal process parameter ranges resulted for the noncatalytic DBD plasma reactor owing to the optimization of three cases, i.e., CH4 conversion and C2+ selectivity, CH4 conversion and C2+ yield, and CH4 conversion and H2 selectivity.
