Abstract
Abstract A one‐dimensional fluid model for a dielectric barrier discharge in methane, used as a chemical reactor for gas conversion, is developed. The model describes the gas phase chemistry governing the conversion process of methane to higher hydrocarbons. The spatially averaged densities of the various plasma species as a function of time are discussed. Besides, the conversion of methane and the yields of the reaction products as a function of the residence time in the reactor are shown and compared with experimental data. Higher hydrocarbons (C 2 H y and C 3 H y ) and hydrogen gas are typically found to be important reaction products. Furthermore, the main underlying reaction pathways are determined. magnified image
