Abstract:
This study aims to develop the plasma jet for animal skin treatment. There are three designs of atmospheric plasma jet system consider. The impacts of control parameters, including applied voltage, applied frequency, and flow rate of argon gas is also investigated in order to optimize the performance of the plasma jet. The power discharge, plasma plume length and the optical emission spectrum are used in the performance optimization. The results show that the similar trends are observed from those 3 designs considered, in which the discharge power increases with the increase of supplied voltage and frequency with 95% confidential based on ANOVA analysis. However, it is found that the discharge power does not depend on the Argon flow rate. It is also found that plasma plume length has the correlation with applied voltage, the frequency and flow rate. In addition, the OES spectrum shows that the trend line of spectrum will increase if the applied voltage or the frequency increase. Furthermore the trend line of spectrum also show that the flow rate 2 liter/minute yield the best performance
