Comparison between nanosecond repetitively pulsed and surface microwave discharges for flame stabilization and ignition

Puntos clave

• Flame stabilization and ignition are significantly influenced by the method used for plasma generation.
• Surface microwave discharges showed higher efficiency than nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in certain flame conditions.
• Observational analysis of both techniques highlights differences in energy consumption and performance.
• These findings may enable enhancements in applications requiring precise flame control, such as combustion engines.
