Abstract: A thyratron-based pulse generator for the investigation of the removal of NO(x) from engine exhaust streams using nonthermal plasmas (NTPs) is described. Our near-term experiments will focus on measuring temperature distributions and reactive species concentrations in electric-discharge NTP reactors using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS), with first experiments on LIF measurements of OH in a pulsed dielectric-barrier discharge.
