英文摘要：

The development of non-thermal plasma combustion enhancement technology is reviewed. The effects of activation of fuel or fuel-air mixtures by electrical non-equilibrium discharges on their combustion properties including ignition, combustion rate and stability are discussed. The principal role of processes with formation of excited components that support the development of the chain mechanism of oxidation of fuel is presented. Pulsed corona and dielectric barrier discharges are investigated with respect to their suitability for plasma ignition and combustion enhancement respectively. Results show that this kind of technology can be applied in propulsion and engines, particularly, internal combustion engines operation under lean-burn conditions and pulse detonation engines.
