Such a plasma source was developed for a potential integration into pulsed air hand dryers. This type of plasma is known for its ability to generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that initiate bio-molecular reactions involved in bacterial and viral deactivation mechanisms. This study shows how additive manufacturing helped accelerate the prototyping of a nozzle allowing the preservation of the plasma flow from circulation cells and external interferences in the discharge’s surrounding.}, journal = {International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering}, volume = {16}, number = {12}, year = {2022}, pages = {131 - 136}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10012844}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/192}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 192, 2022}, }
