Theoretical analysis for ozone yield of a high frequency silent discharge

The paper uses dimensional analysis to develop a theoretical prediction of the yield of a high frequency silent discharge ozone generator at atmospheric pressure. To verify the viability of the resulting yield equation, a rectangular shaped chamber with a 0.75 mm air gap was constructed. Aluminium mesh electrodes were used, with metal tape and a planar mica sheet forming a dielectric barrier. The power supply to the chamber was from a modified class E resonant power inverter. It is established that prediction using the yield equation based on fractional function matches closely with data obtained from the experimental findings.
