Abstract
In this experimental work, the physical and electrical characteristics of a fabricated positive DC corona jet are analysed. The designed plasma jet operates with the direct current (DC) applied voltage and \(\hbox {Ar}/\hbox {CO}_{2}\) mixture at the atmospheric pressure (760 Torr). The emitted spectra are analysed by the optical emission spectroscopy technique. Then, the rotational, vibrational and excitation temperatures, electron density and \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) dissociation degrees are obtained. Besides, using the actinometry method, the carbon dioxide dissociation process is studied. The \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) excitation and ionisation from \(X^{2}\Pi _{g}\rightarrow A^{2}\Pi _{u}\) transitions along with the OH emission band from the \(\mathrm {A}^{2}\Sigma \rightarrow \mathrm {X}^{2}\Pi \) transitions are detected. It is seen that at all the temperatures, electron number density and \(\hbox {CO}_{2}\) dissociation to CO, \(\hbox {O}_{2}\) and O species are increased at higher input electrical currents
