MICROWAVE PLASMA MODULE FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
Journal Title: Proceedings of Electrotechnical Institute Prace Instytutu Elektrotechniki - Year 2012, Vol 59, Issue 259
Abstract
Microwave plasma module (MPM) is used for hydrogen production via conversion of hydrocarbons. We present optimization of energy transfer in the waveguide-supplied coaxial-line-based MPM. The MPM operates at atmospheric pressure and frequency of 2.45 GHz. The MPM is terminated with movable plunger which plays the role of the tuning element. Tuning characteristics are defined as the dependence of the PR/PI,i. e. the fraction of the incident microwave power reflected at the MPM input as a function of the position ls of the movable plunger, where PR and PI are power reflected and power incident, respectively. The powers PR and PI are measured in input plane of the MPM. The main purpose of the optimization is to calculate dimensions of some construction elements which ensure the lowest level of PR/PI in widest range of normalized to wavelength movable plunger position (ls/λg). Optimization has been performed using Comsol Multiphysics software. The main construction elements which have been optimized are the length of the shorted coaxial line section, the diameter of the inner conductor of coaxial line and finally the height of the reduced height waveguide section. It is also desired that the shape of the tuning characteristics should be independent of plasma parameters which depend on working gas type, working gas flow rate and power absorbed.
