Analytic calculations of ozone concentration in an oxygen-fed wire-to-cylinder ozonizer and comparison with the Vasil'ev relation

An analytical model for ozone concentration calculations in an oxygen-fed w ire-to-cylinder ozonizer is presented in order to improve our basic knowled ge on ozone generation. This approach takes into account the physical and c hemical phenomena. The Becker parameter is introduced and the ozone concent ration deduced from this model is compared to the Vasil'ev relation, the ma croscopic coefficients for ozone formation and destruction being expressed as functions of the kinetic coefficients. The general results (electron den sity, ozone concentration, macroscopic coefficients) are compared with expe riments and a good agreement is observed.
