Summary Understanding CO2 containing non-equilibrium plas- mas: Modeling and Experiments In recent years CO2 is explored as a source of carbon for fuel production, because such fuels can simultaneously help in halting the increase in atmospheric green- house gases, while keeping the carbon based economy running. However, for a net carbon neutral cycle, renewable electricity should be used for CO2 conversion. In this context, non-equilibrium plasmas fit the bill as they can use the renew- able electricity directly, while creating exotic chemistry. Hence, in this thesis two plasma sources have been studied, from the point of view of plasma chemistry, to test their efficacy in CO2 conversion and draw some general inferences. The first plasma source is an expansion from thermal arc. The gas composition is the main parameter which has been varied in the study of the plasma expansion. From this study, it is found that converting CO2 to methane, a target fuel molecule, majorly proceeds through formation of CO, even in the presence of highly ex- cited H species; hence, hydrogenation of CO, produced from CO2, should be the preferred route. A direct hydrogenation of CO2 to methane is expected to occur only when the concentrations of H radicals become the main chemical species in the expansion. The reduced importance of direct hydrogenation can be explained from the fact that the excess oxygen released from CO2 dissociation, scavenges H2 and related species to form water; the recombination is mainly expected to hap- pen at the surface. Hence, CO2 conversion in the presence of H2 is shown to be ineffective. Dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is chosen as the second plasma source; the choice is motivated from their ease of operation and the prospects for scaling-up 175
