Popis: Experiments with plasma jets over surfaces of liquids have been made. Jets are created by the plasmadynamic and erosive discharges over alcohol. Experiments on application of the plasmadynamic discharge (plasma jet) to alcohol vapors inflammation were formulated arranged and undertaken. It was revealed that plasma jets injected into flows conserve high values of plasma temperature and plasma density at long distances from the plasma source. This allows to them to be a reliable source of vapors ignition on a surface of a flammable liquid both in immobile air and airflow. In experiments with the plasma dynamicdischarge realization over a fluid (alcohol and alcohol - water mixture) in the subsonic airflow was realized the ignition of alcohol vapors. In experiments with the erosive capillary discharge over a fluid (alcohol) in the subsonic airflow was realized an ignition of vapors of alcohol. At that experiments of measurements of air velocity have been undertaken. We have investigated the influence of the side and counter flow on the plasma stream propagation. High speed photo recording analysis verified that the ignition of vapors took place in our conditions.
