Abstract: Dielectric barrier discharge plasma actuators are described. In one embodiment, a fluid flow actuator includes: a dielectric sheet; and a first electrode of a dielectric barrier discharge-direct current augmented (DBD-DCA) actuator disposed on a first face of the dielectric sheet. The first electrode is exposed to a surrounding fluid. The fluid actuator also includes a second electrode of the DBD-DCA actuator disposed on a second face of the dielectric sheet. The second face of the dielectric sheet is opposite from the first face of the dielectric sheet. The first electrode and the second electrode are configured for receiving an alternating current (AC) voltage configured to locally ionize the fluid and to generate ions. A third electrode located downstream from the first electrode and the second electrode. The third electrode is configured for receiving a direct current (DC) voltage configured to accelerate the ions.

Abstract: A method includes receiving input indicating at least two of: (a) a coefficient of first sensitivity of an optical particle sizer (OPS) to a real part of a complex refractive index (CRI); (b) a coefficient of second sensitivity of the OPS to an imaginary part of the CRI; (c) a coefficient of a degree of monotonicity between intensity and particle size; (d) a coefficient of a dynamic range of the OPS; or (e) a coefficient of a limit of detection (LOD) of the OPS; determining ratings for the OPS using the at least two of (a)-(e) and at least two of (i) the first sensitivity, (ii) the second sensitivity, (iii) the degree of monotonicity, (iv) the dynamic range, or (v) the LOD; identifying an angle that corresponds to a maximum or minimum rating; and providing an OPS having a detection angle that is within 5 degrees of the identified angle.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a hydrothermal reactor, such as a downflow hydrothermal reactor and methods of using the same. Also disclosed herein are system embodiments comprising the hydrothermal reactor. Method embodiments disclosed herein facilitate determining operation parameters for the hydrothermal reactor that give rise to efficient feedstock conversion to products while maintaining integrity of the reactor (e.g., avoiding corrosion) and providing safe operating conditions. The disclosed reactor and system embodiments facilitate situations where small scale and/or remote destruction of feedstocks (e.g., chemical warfare agents and/or environmental toxins) is needed.
