Effect of Increasing Input Power on Methane Dissociation Dynamics in Inductively Coupled Plasma Reactor: A 2-D Simulation

In this study, we focus on 2-D simulation of methane dissociation using a low-temperature inductively coupled plasma reactor. This model incorporates the motions and collisions of both neutral and charged particles, including a total of 33 species (neutrals, radicals, ions, and electrons), as well as over 300 reactions (electron impact with methane, neutral-neutral, neutral-ion, and surface reactions). The results indicate a significant methane conversion rate; hydrogen production reaches 27%. The findings are highly significant and need experimental confirmation.
