Efficient H2O2 Production and Activation by Air Diffusion Cathode Combined with Ultraviolet for Lake Water Treatment: A Long-Term Evaluation

This study utilizes a natural air diffusion cathode (ADC) and an ultraviolet lamp to construct a UV/H2O2 reactor for the in situ synthesis and activation of H2O2 and evaluates its potential application in practical lake water treatment. The results indicate that the reactor exhibits stable treatment performance during a continuous flow experiment of 80 h. The air diffusion cathode maintains an H2O2 concentration of above 350 mg·L−1 in sodium sulfate electrolyte and shows no decreasing trend. Under the condition of approximately 59% H2O2 utilization, the removal rates of COD and TOC are 37.6% and 40.0%, respectively; the rate of reduction of A254 is 64.3%; while the total bacterial count removal rate reaches 100%. Large organic molecules in surface water are degraded to small organic molecules and mineralized to inorganic minor molecules. It effectively ameliorates the problem of organic pollution of surface water and effectively kills bacteria and improves the microbiological safety of the water body. Therefore, the UV/H2O2 system developed in this study, based on electrochemically produced H2O2, is an effective method for treating micro-polluted surface water.

Self aeration and energy dissipation on a steep stepped chute: how does physical modelling compare to prototype observations?

For the last five decades, a number of overflow stepped chutes were built because the staircase shape is conducive to reduced construction costs and increased rate of energy dissipation. The stepped chute operations are characterised by air‐water flows that are highly turbulent flows with a large rate of energy dissipation, in comparison to smooth chutes. Herein, physical measurements were performed in a large‐size 1 V: 0.80H stepped chute model, with a steep slope typical of modern concrete gravity dams. The results are compared to visual observations of prototype spillway operation under Froude similar conditions. The detailed two‐phase flow measurements were conducted to characterise finely the self‐aeration and air diffusion process downstream of the inception region of free‐surface aeration. The bubble count rate profiles scaled with the instantaneous void fraction variance, and the relationship was biased close to the stepped invert under the influence of large‐scale vortical structures. The rate of energy dissipation was carefully estimated based upon the two‐phase flow measurements and the results are compared to earlier results on similar steep invert slopes and prototype data estimates. At the downstream end of the stepped chute, the rate of energy dissipation ranged from 43 to 46%, i.e. more than twice that on a smooth-invert chute for a similar chute length and discharge range.Graphical abstractCharacteristics of self-aerated stepped chute flows for dc/h = 1.3—(I) Prototype flow at Hinze Dam (Re = 4.0 × 107); (II) Air-water flow properties in the large-size laboratory model (1:15) stepped spillway (Re = 6.1 × 105)

A New Approach to the Economic Evaluation of Thermomodernization: Annual Assessment Based on the Example of Production Space

Energy and economic assessments are of great relevance in the context of decision processes for the most optimal solutions for building renovations. Following the method recommended by UNIDO, economic analyses of thermal modernization options are carried out based on the Simple Payback Time (SPBT), Net Present Value Ratio (NPVR) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) indices. Incorporating these indicators and a new approach that involves aggregating thermomodernization activities not only in the cold and warm seasons separately, but throughout the whole year, an economic evaluation of the thermomodernization of a production space was carried out. In this case study, the renovation options included wall insulation, window replacement, the installation of infrared heater, a two-flow air diffuser (TFAD) and variable air volume. The economic effect indicated by the highest NPVR over a normative period of 15 years was obtained for the installation of an infrared heater and a TFAD with a variable mode ventilation system. The SPBT for this case was also the lowest.

Numerical Study of Air Distribution and Thermal Environment in Attached Ventilation Mode in the Generator Layer of a Hydropower Station

Because they are in enclosed underground buildings, the generator layers of hydropower stations have limited ventilation. In order to reduce the influence of a hot and humid environment on equipment and staff health and create a good thermal environment with good air quality for underground buildings, in this paper, vertical wall-attached ventilation was combined with the generator layer of a hydropower station to replace traditional ventilation. The influence of air supply velocity, air supply outlet position, and the opening mode of the generator layer on indoor velocity and temperature field distribution were analyzed via numerical simulation, and the evaluation indices of different cases were also compared. In the single-sided vertical wall-attached ventilation mode, when the velocity was increased from 4 m/s to 8 m/s, the maximum increment in the energy utilization coefficient was 41%, and the maximum reduction in the velocity non-uniformity coefficient was 9.5%. The results show that the single-sided mode can offer a higher ventilation efficiency than the double-sided mode, with a higher energy efficiency and a more uniform air distribution. Based on the mean temperature and velocity, and the key evaluation indices (head-foot temperature difference, percentage of dissatisfaction, non-uniformity coefficient, energy utilization coefficient, and air diffusion performance index), it is suggested that the single-sided air supply mode should be adopted for this kind of tall building, with an air supply velocity of v = 6 m/s and two open air supply outlets at each interval.

Novel photoelectrocatalytic system of oxygen vacancy-rich black TiO2-x nanocones photoanode and natural air diffusion cathode for efficient water purification and simultaneous H2O2 production

Photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) system harnesses solar energy for chemical reactions, representing a highly promising renewable energy-based technology for water purification. Herein, we design a novel separated PEC system that integrates water purification on an oxygen vacancy-rich black TiO2 nanocones (b-TiO2-x) photoanode with two-electron O2 reduction reaction for H2O2 production on a natural air diffusion cathode. This integration benefits from thermodynamic advantages, synergy effects and enhanced •OH production, thus exhibiting superior water purification (98.32%, 0.064 min−1) and H2O2 production (6.83 μmol/h/cm2) at ultra-low applied cell voltage of 0.5 V, with the energy consumption of only 0.034 kWh/m3 wastewater treated, where the simultaneous production of value-added H2O2 could fully compensate for the electric cost of the system. Notably, even under real sunlight irradiation, this system achieves efficient water purification and H2O2 production without additional energy consumption, offering a cost-effective and environmental-benign strategy for the dual purpose of water purification and resourcization.

Diagnostic value of identifying location and amount of free gas in the abdominal cavity by multidetector computed tomography in patients with acute gastrointestinal perforation

Objective: To evaluate the relationships between the location and extent of diffusion of free intraperitoneal air by multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) and between the location and size of acute gastrointestinal perforation. Methods: This was a descriptive case series. We examined abdominal CT images of 33 patients who were treated for intraoperatively confirmed gastrointestinal perforation (excluding appendiceal perforation) in the Department of General Surgery, Nanfang Hospital between January and September 2022. We identified five locations of intraperitoneal air: the subphrenic space, hepatic portal space, mid-abdominal wall, mesenteric space, and pelvic cavity. We allocated the 33 patients to an upper gastrointestinal perforation (n=23) and lower gastrointestinal perforation group (n=10) base on intraoperative findings and analyzed the relationships between the locations of free gas and of gastrointestinal perforation. Additionally, we established two models for analyzing the extent of diffusion of free gas in the abdominal cavity and constructed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to analyze the relationships between the two models and the size of the gastrointestinal perforation. Results: In the upper gastrointestinal perforation group, free gas was located around the hepatic portal area in 91.3% (21/23) of patients: this is a significantly greater proportion than that found in the lower gastrointestinal perforation group (5/10) (P=0.016). In contrast, free gas was located in the mesenteric interspace in 8/10 patients in the lower gastrointestinal perforation group; this is a significantly greater proportion than was found in the upper gastrointestinal perforation group (8.7%, 2/23) (P<0.010). The sensitivity of diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal perforation base on the presence of hepatic portal free gas was 84.8% and the specificity 71.4%. Further, the sensitivity of diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal perforation base on the presence of mesenteric interspace free gas was 80.0% and the specificity 91.3%. The rates of presence of free gas in the subdiaphragmatic area, mid-abdominal wall, and pelvic cavity did not differ significantly between the two groups (all P>0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that when free gas was present in four or more of the studied locations in the abdominal cavity, the optimal cutoff for perforation diameter was 2 cm, the corresponding sensitivity 66.7%, and the specificity 100%, suggesting that abdominal free gas diffuses extensively when the diameter of the perforation is >2 cm. Another model revealed that when free gas is present in three or more of the studied locations, the optimal cutoff for perforation diameter is 1 cm, corresponding to a sensitivity of 91.7% and specificity of 76.2%; suggesting that free gas is relatively confined in the abdominal cavity when the diameter of the perforation is <1 cm. Conclusion: Identifying which of five locations in the abdominal cavity contains free intraperitoneal air by examining MSCT images can be used to assist in the diagnosis of the location and size of acute gastrointestinal perforations.

Natural air diffusion electrode modified with metal-organic frameworks derived Fe doped porous carbon for sulfamethazine degradation by heterogeneous electro-Fenton

A novel and efficient heterogeneous electro-Fenton process has been developed, utilizing a modified natural air diffusion electrode (NADE) as a bifunctional cathode. This cathode is based on Fe-doped porous carbon (Fe-PC(800)), which is derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). This cathode has the unique ability to simultaneously generate and activate H2O2 in-situ without the need for aeration. Fe-PC(800) synthesized at a pyrolysis temperature of 800 °C exhibited the optimal catalytic efficiency for sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation over a wide pH between 3 and 11, attributed to the production of Fe0 and Fe3C which improved electron transfer efficiency. The presence of Fe0 facilitated the regeneration of Fe2+ and thus increased the activity of the bifunctional cathode in the Hetero-EF process. The co-action mechanism of •OH and 1O2 was confirmed by the radical quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) investigations. NADE modified with Fe-PC(800) demonstrated broad applicability towards diverse contaminants and exceptional stability in ten consecutive cycling experiments. This study shed light on the viability of a straightforward and economically viable cathode utilizing NADE without the need of aeration in a Hetero-EF system, offering novel perspectives on bifunctional electrode design and the activation mechanism involving in-situ production and catalysis of H2O2.

Experimental and numerical study for assessment indoor air quality by adopting mixing ventilation with different occupants' density in Iraq hot climates

In this research, thermal of level comfort and air quality indoor were examined for different numbers of persons (occupants’ density) within a (3m × 2.5m × 2.5 m) office room. The office room is equipped with mixing ventilation system, temperature and air speed (17°C) and (2.5 m/s) respectively. The results of experimental experiments and results were compared with computational fluid-dynamics (CFD) analysis utilizing the turbulent (RNG, k-epsilon) model on a thermal manikin that represents a person’s body in a standing and sitting and position. The experimental study focused on measuring the velocity, air temperature, and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in different areas indoor the room, in addition to taking measurements around the heat manikins and in the breathing area. When analyzing numerical data, thermal of level comfort was assessed by air diffusion of performance Index (ADPI), predicted of percentage dissatisfied (PPD), and predicted of mean vote (PMV). The results indicate that thermal comfort and indoor air quality decline with more persons. Where the values of (ADPI), (PPD) and (PMV) change from (76.55 %), (6.325 %) and (0.021) to (64.25 %), (10.412 %) and (0.52) respectively, when the number of persons in the room increased from (two persons) to (four persons).

Local O2 concentrating boosts the electro-Fenton process for energy-efficient water remediation

The electro-Fenton process is a state-of-the-art water treatment technology used to remove organic contaminants. However, the low O2 utilization efficiency (OUE, <1%) and high energy consumption remain the biggest obstacles to practical application. Here, we propose a local O2 concentrating (LOC) approach to increase the OUE by over 11-fold compared to the conventional simple O2 diffusion route. Due to the well-designed molecular structure, the LOC approach enables direct extraction of O2 from the bulk solution to the reaction interface; this eliminates the need to pump O2/air to overcome the sluggish O2 mass transfer and results in high Faradaic efficiencies (~50%) even under natural air diffusion conditions. Long-term operation of a flow-through pilot device indicated that the LOC approach saved more than 65% of the electric energy normally consumed in treating actual industrial wastewater, demonstrating the great potential of this system-level design to boost the electro-Fenton process for energy-efficient water remediation.

The use of different air diffusers on whiteleg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei in recirculating aquaculture system: effects on water quality and shrimp growth

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different air diffusers on the oxygen transfer rate, water quality, and growth performance of the whiteleg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, for 60 days using a recirculating aquaculture system. The first experiment was conducted with six treatments applying two different air diffusers regarding two treatments (TRT): (i) rubber aeration tube and (ii) airstone at three different air pressures (0.025, 0.05, and 0.075 Mpa), respectively. Based on the first experiment's results, the second experiment was designed with two treatments: TRT1 - rubber aeration tube and TRT2 - airstone. Results indicated that the standard oxygen transfer rate increased as the pressure increased. The rubber aeration tube and air stone showed no significant difference at pressure levels. Therefore, the second experiment used a pressure level of 0.025 Mpa for TRT1 and TRT2. The results from the second trial showed that the dissolved oxygen in TRT1 did not differ significantly from that in TRT2. At the same time, the other parameters, such as temperature, pH, and alkalinity, remained steady throughout the culture period. The survival rate and biomass had the highest values in TRT2, but no significant differences were found in growth performance compared to TRT1. The results of this study suggest that either rubber aeration tubes or air stones are feasible and effective alternatives to improve the water quality and growth performance of P. vannamei in experimental conditions.

Evaluation Gaussian concentration using dispersion parameters in Puff Plume model

The proposed concentrations model was compared to observed data from air diffusion studies for hexafluoride (SF6) conducted in the northern area of Copenhagen, Denmark, and earlier work for the Gaussian puff model. The predicted concentrations and earlier studies were found to be within a factor of two of each other, indicating that the predicted data is compatible with the observed concentrations data. Under unstable conditions, the statistical statistics show a reasonable agreement between the expected and observed concentrations at the Copenhagen Experimental. In contrast to the previous work's results, which had an NMSE of 0.3 and an FB of 0.21, we discovered that the data obtained using the statistical method had an NMSE of 0.2 and an FB of 0.25. The projected COR is 0.95, compared to 0.97 in a previous computation. The observed concentration data was 88% of the expected value, compared to 78% in previous research. The expected data are consistent with the observed concentration measurements. When compared to previous work, the Copenhagen experiment was conducted under unstable conditions, and statistical data show good agreement between predicted and observed concentrations.

Impact of Diffuser Location on Thermal Comfort Inside a Hospital Isolation Room

Thermal comfort is increasingly recognized as vital in healthcare facilities, where patients spend 80–90% of their time indoors. Sensing, controlling, and predicting indoor air quality should be monitored for thermal comfort. This study examines the effects of ventilation design on thermal comfort in hospital rooms, proposing four distinct ventilation configurations, each with three airflow rates of 9, 12, and 15 Air Changes per Hour (ACH). The study conducted various ventilation simulation scenarios for a hospital room. The objective is to determine the effect of airflow and the diffuser location distribution on thermal comfort. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations, along with the k–ε turbulence model, were used as the underlying mathematical representation for the airflow. The boundary conditions for the simulations were derived from the ventilation standards set by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and insights from previous studies. Thermal comfort and temperature distribution were assessed using indices like Predicted Percentage Dissatisfaction (PPD), Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), and Air Diffusion Performance Index (ADPI). Although most of the twelve scenarios failed to attain thermal comfort, two of those instances were optimal in this simulation. Those instances involved the return diffuser behind the patient and airflow of 9 ACH, the minimum recommended by previous studies. It should be noted that the ADPI remained unmet in these cases, revealing complexities in achieving ideal thermal conditions in healthcare environments. This study extends the insights from our prior research, advancing our understanding of ventilation impacts on thermal comfort in healthcare facilities. It underscores the need for comprehensive approaches to environmental control, setting the stage for future research to refine these findings further.

Assessment of COVID-19 infection Risk, thermal Comfort, and energy efficiency in negative pressure isolation wards with varied ventilation modes

Negative pressure isolation wards (NPIWs) play a crucial role in providing care to COVID-19 patients during a pandemic. However, the exhalation of patients releases aerosols containing pathogens, posing a potential infection risk for healthcare workers (HCWs). While robust ventilation systems within NPIWs can help mitigate this risk, they may also lead to increased energy consumption and reduced thermal comfort for patients. Therefore, it is imperative to strike a delicate balance between HCW safety, patient comfort, and energy efficiency when optimizing airflow within NPIWs. This study introduces TARGETING, a novel index designed to assess the efficiency of aerosols removal of ventilation systems in NPIWs. The primary goal of TARGETING is to enhance the precision of ventilation systems, consequently reducing the required air changes per hour (ACH) and minimizing energy consumption. The research delves into the impact of various supply air parameters, including ACH and temperature, as well as different ventilation modes. Through a comprehensive evaluation utilizing an array of metrics such as the Air Diffusion Performance Index (ADPI), Predicted Mean Vote (PMV), TARGETING, infection risk assessment, and energy consumption estimation measured by cooling load (Lcool), this study employs an Analytic Hierarchy Process to assess the aforementioned indices. The findings highlight that air curtain ventilation (ACV) emerges as the most favorable choice, delivering comprehensive benefits, including an infection risk of less than 0.03%, an ADPI score of 90.2%, a PMV close to zero, TARGETING at 1.3, and energy savings ranging from 35.1% to 57.3%.

Electro-chemical effects on combustion chemistry in electric field fire suppression

In order to investigate the role played by electro-chemical effects in the combustion of flames under an external electric field, it is necessary to simulate the chain effect brought about by the increase of electron energy during the combustion reaction by modifying the electron energy according to the ethanol combustion mechanism containing ionic chemical reaction. Due to the large amount of computation involved in carrying out numerical simulations using detailed chemical reaction mechanisms, the mechanisms are simplified in this paper in order to save computational resources. Combining the simplified mechanism, a finite rate chemical reaction model is used to simulate the chemical reaction of ions during the transverse electric field fire extinguishing process, and the relationship between the concentration of intermediate components in ethanol air diffusion combustion and temperature is analyzed.

Evaluation of Selected Operating Process Variables for a Bioflocculant Supported Column Flotation System

The poultry industry generates significant volumes of slaughterhouse wastewater, laden with numerous pollutants, thus requiring pretreatment prior to discharge. However, new technologies must be used to re-engineer the existing wastewater treatment equipment and incorporate new designs to improve the treatment processes or system performance. In this study, three variables, i.e., diffuser design, bioflocculant form, and flow rate, were evaluated to determine their effect on the performance of a bioflocculant-supported column flotation (BioCF) system. It was found that bioflocculants influenced diffuser performance with limited impact when the feed flow rate was varied, i.e., 3D-printed air diffusers and cell-free flocculants imparted high BioCF performance when compared to moulded diffusers and cell-bound flocculants. Notably, the combination of 3D-printed air diffusers and cell-free flocculants resulted in relatively high pollutant removal (81.23% COD, 94.44% TSS, 97.77% protein, and 90.38% turbidity reduction). The study lays a foundation for exploring 3D-printed air diffusers, a relatively new technology in conjunction with microbial flocculants usage that are regarded as eco-friendly for application in industry to enhance the performance of column flotation systems.

Reducing Indoor Air Pollution through Personalized Ventilation for Occupants in Office Environments and Confined Spaces

With the increasing focus on indoor environmental quality, driven by the growing amount of time people spend in enclosed spaces, this study presents an approach to enhancing air distribution in office environments and confined spaces. A novel low-induction air diffuser is designed to deliver fresh, clean air in close proximity to occupants while maintaining their thermal comfort. Clean, unpolluted air is pivotal to healthy and productive workplaces. Yet, this paper underscores the importance of not sacrificing thermal comfort in the pursuit of improved indoor air quality. Inadequate thermal comfort may lead occupants to deactivate ventilation systems, negating the benefits of improved air quality. Inefficient temperature control can also result in discomfort, distractions, and reduced productivity. The innovative low-induction air diffuser resolves this issue, enhancing air quality near occupants without causing thermal discomfort. By directing air gently and efficiently, this solution is prepared to transform personalized ventilation systems, mitigating the discomfort associated with traditional jet flows while delivering high-quality breathable air. This research serves as a bridge between improved indoor air quality and thermal comfort, for office environments. It introduces a practical, energy-efficient solution that satisfies the core requirements of a healthy workspace—clean air and comfortable conditions.

On the adequacy of OH* as heat release marker for hydrogen–air flames

The correlation between the distributions of OH* and heat release rate (HRR) is numerically investigated for laminar and turbulent hydrogen–air flames. First, laminar premixed one-dimensional flames are considered, observing a peak shift between OH* and HRR regardless of the equivalence ratio or OH* sub-mechanism. Nevertheless, OH* and HRR well correlate for methane-hydrogen fuel mixtures, suggesting that the reasons for such peak shift are to be searched in the hydrogen flame intrinsic properties. In particular, the H-radical is pivotal, given its different role in the main OH* formation and HRR reaction pathways. The chain-branching nature of hydrogen oxidation enhances the formation of H-radical pool, leading to higher OH* production in the post-flame region, while HRR peaks upstream, being linked to the consumption of HO2 generated by the recombination reactions of back-diffused H-radicals. Methane oxidation, instead, is chain-terminating, hence H-consuming, releasing heat and preventing the radical pool formation in the post-flame zone. Similar analyses are then performed for strained counterflow diffusion hydrogen–air flames, where the OH* distribution shows to be, at least for strain levels not close to extinction, an adequate HRR marker. Indeed, differently from premixed flames, HRR is here found to be dominated by H direct consumption on the fuel side. The observations made for laminar one-dimensional flames are confirmed by Large Eddy Simulations (LES) of three-dimensional turbulent hydrogen–air diffusion and partially premixed flames, stabilized in the HYLON injector at IMFT laboratory. When compared with the experimental OH* field, LES-computed HRR correctly retrieves OH* position in the diffusion flame, while a mismatch in the axial direction is observed between the two distributions for the lifted partially premixed flame. An overall good match, instead, is observed between measured and LES-computed OH* fields, emphasizing the importance of including OH* kinetics to accurately compare simulations and experiments of multi-regime hydrogen–air flames.

Numerical study of turbulent flows around a cubic obstacle blown from a variable geometry jets diffuser

This research focuses on utilizing numerical simulation to analyse how modifications in the air jet diffuser shape impact the cooling efficiency of electronic parts. The main aim of this study is to understand the physical and thermal mechanisms involved in the process. The study consists in numerically predicting the physical and thermal field of a cubic-shaped obstacle placed in the centre of a square subjected to a resulting flow field created by a transverse flow and a perpendicularly oriented impacting jet. The computations were done at a Reynolds number of 3 410, analyzing three perpendicular impinging jets with the ratio of impinging and cross flow Reynolds numbers α = Rej /ReH having the values of 0.5, 1, and 1.5. The k–ω SST turbulence model was used in this investigation. The effectiveness of the methodology that was put into action was evaluated by referring to the findings derived from the experiments conducted by Masip and his team. Once the methodology was validated, we studied the effect of changing the geometric shapes of the impinging jet diffusers on the cooling efficiency. Three geometrical shapes of air diffusers were tested (circular, swirling and lobed). We noted that there is a direct correlation between flow morphology and cooling efficiency. The impact of the ratio α was analysed and found to have a significant effect on the cooling efficiency. As this ratio increases, the quantity of heat transfer increases in all three air jet diffuser cases. In relation to the lobed air jet, it was observed that the Nusselt number exhibits greater values when compared to the other air jet diffuser cases. Moreover, it was noted that the lobed air jet diffuser can enhance the heat transfer efficiency for α = 1.5 by more than 16.3 % compared to the circular air jet diffuser.

Design and Characterization of an Upscaled Dielectric Barrier Discharge-Based Ten-Layer Plasma Source for High-Flow-Rate Gas Treatment

Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD)-based technology is considered a promising alternative for controlling indoor air pollutants. However, its limited processing capacity and lack of design techniques have restricted its use in practical applications. This paper introduces a methodology for designing upscaled DBD reactors with a processing capacity of up to 1000 L/min for treating high-flow-rate gases to mitigate indoor air pollution. A ten-layer high-flow-rate DBD reactor was constructed, with fundamental characterizations, including electrical and spectroscopic measurements, conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed methodology. In particular, the flow paths of the ten-layer DBD reactor were optimized by incorporating an air diffuser and perforated metal plates, all without significant modifications. Computational fluid dynamics simulations showed a remarkably improved velocity uniformity (0.35 m/s to 0.04 m/s, as evidenced by the velocity standard deviation) in the 10 flow channels. These simulation results were consistent with the experimental results, wherein the velocity standard deviation reduced from 1.38 m/s to 0.13 m/s. Moreover, multi-gas plasma ignition for up to six gas species and high-flow-rate plasma generation of up to 1000 L/min were achieved. These results provide the foundation for developing DBD technologies for practical applications in high-flow-rate gas treatment, particularly for controlling indoor air pollution.
