Abstract

The effect of arc like streamer discharge is investigated on the hydrogen generation in the plasma reactor with multineedle - plate electrode geometry and SDR (Plasma reactor using the surface discharge). An additive of the two type (the saw type and the pellet type) was placed under the water surface to investigate the effect of the water surface conditions. The experimental results are compared in case of the reactor with and without an additive on the water surface. The generation of arc streamer discharge is more powerful with increasing applied voltage in the saw type. The maximum hydrogen Production concentration is about 4300 ppm at 74W in the SDR with additive of the saw type. Also, the Energy yield of the SDR (28990 g/kWh, 4300ppm, 74W) is higher than of the multineedle - plate electrode geometry (20892g/kWh, 3300ppm, 77W).
