Abstract
A dielectric barrier discharge device includes a dielectric nozzle that circumscribes an interior cavity. The dielectric nozzle has a first end, a second end opposite the first end, an interior side, and an exterior side opposite the interior side. The interior cavity spans from the first end to the second end, and the interior cavity has an open end at the second end of the dielectric nozzle. There is a first electrode on the exterior side, and a second electrode in the interior cavity. A gas inlet is fluidly connected with the interior cavity, and there is a gap that runs between the second electrode and the interior side. The gap may vary in size along the second electrode. A power supply is electrically coupled with the first electrode and the second electrode.
