| Abstract | Summary form only given. Ignition phenomena in gaseous $CH_{4}-air$ mixtures from transient plasma and spark discharges were studied using optical techniques. It was found that transient plasmas, composed of pulsed discharges persisting for times shorter than the plasma formative phase in gas mixtures, produced shorter ignition delay times - a critical factor in applications such as pulsed detonation engines. 1. The transient plasma is generated via 66 kV, 70 ns FWHM pulses with pulse energies of the order 800 mJ/pulse. The free radical OH is present in many chain propagation and branching reactions, therefore is indicative of the intensities of chemical reaction processes before and after ignition. $CH_{4}-air$ combustion tests were performed at 1 atm, at equivalence ratios of phi =1 and phi =1.2, and chemiluminescent emission of OH at 308 nm was recorded. Emission intensity after ignition, induced by transient plasma, was typically a factor of 5-8 greater than by capacitive spark discharge. In addition, before ignition a large OH signature was present immediately after the application of the transient plasma, whereas there was none detected when using a spark. Associated pressure curves were also compared: the transient plasma case had larger peak pressures, with shorter ignition delays consistent with previous data. 2. Additionally a PicoStar ICCD was used to obtain images of streamer propagation, channel formation, and spark formation. The imaging of the streamers and the strong OH signal indicates that transient plasma in the tested geometry yielded a volumetric ignition process populating the discharge volume with reactive free radicals. Physics and chemistry issues resulting from the combination of these effects, volumetric ignition and direct production of free radicals, will be discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
