It is assumed that
electric power introduced into the discharge is immediately averaged in the
discharge volume;
internal electric field in the discharge does not vary in space and time;
during the pass of air through the discharge into the reactor volume its
content is totally refreshed and its flow rate in the reactor volume is the
same as in the discharge gap.

Conclusions
x The dynamic plasma-liquid systems with the electric discharges
in the gas channels with liquid wall is quite efficient in plasmachemical reforming of ethanol into free hydrogen and synthesis
gas.
x The minimal value of power inputs in investigated discharge
modes is ~2.4 kWh/m3 at the power of output syngas of
~4.4 kWh/m3.
x The electric discharge in gas channel with liquid wall have high
power efficiency and efficiency of the non-equilibrium plasma
processes comparable to other known gas-discharge plasma
sources of the atmospheric pressure such as diaphragm and arc
types.
The main purpose of R&D activities in KNU on problems of nonthermal low-temperature plasma-assisted bio-fuel reforming are
process research + performance study + fuel property testing +
recommendations.
The main advantages of use of plasma-assisted reforming of
alternative bio-fuels for applications in aviation
physical & chemistry aspects: improving characteristics of synthetic
hydrogen-enriched fuel ignition and combustion in aircraft jet engines,
environmental ecology & climate aspects: reducing pollution
emission of NOx, COx, SOx, soot, etc in atmospheric air,
economic aspects: usage of alternative renewable (derived from
agricultural biomass) bio-fuels instead of fossil oil petroleumdependent hydrocarbon fuels in commercial aircrafts.
