Reforming of ethanol in plasma of discharge with gas flow of ``tornado'' type and "liquid" electrode

This paper presents the results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the process of non-thermal plasma-assisted reforming of aqueous ethanol solutions in the dynamic plasma liquid system using the DC discharge in a reverse vortex gas flow of tornado type with a ``liquid'' electrode (TORNADO-LE). Mass-spectrometry of synthesis gas for the ethanol reforming in the TORNADO-LE was measured. Coefficient of energy transformation for the ethanol reforming in the TORNADO-LE was obtained. Also output gas composition was measured by gas-chromatography (H$_{2}$ - 28{\%}, CO - 17,5{\%}, N$_{2}$ - 55{\%}, CO$_{2}$ - 4,5{\%}).
