Popis: International audience; Non-equilibrium plasmas are known to improve ignition and extend flammability limits. In this study, NRP discharges of 2 mJ are applied at 20 kHz in the recirculation zone of a premixed methane-air bluff-body burner with a lean equivalence ratio of 0.8. The operating point is close to the lean blow out limit and NRP discharges efficiently enhance the combustion process. Discharge effects are investigated and the role of N2(C) is quantified with spectroscopic measurements.
