Abstract

Optical emission spectroscopy was used to study the gas temperature measurement in CH4/CO2 dielectric-barrier discharges. This method offers a simple and precise way to measure gas temperatures in the dielectric-barrier discharge. The low temperature rotational distribution correlated with changes in ambient conditions while the high rotational temperature component and the vibrational temperature reflect the excess of energy during the CH radical formation.
