Non-Self-Maintained Discharge Plasma in Propane–Air Mixture

Theoretical modeling of electron-molecule processes in propane-air mixture in external electric field and electron beam have been made. Evolution of main charged and neutral particles in time has been obtained. Gas temperature evolution has allowed to make conclusions on the ignition of propane-air mixture at different concentrations of propane in humid propane-air mixture. The delay time of ignition decreases in lean mixtures.
