Abstract
Plasma assisted chemical processes and reactors have drawn more and more attention in academic research and industrial applications. On one hand, plasmas change the fluid properties at atomic/molecular scale. On the other hand, the mutual contact between plasmas and the substances are alternated at meso-scale, bringing up unique features of transport phenomena and reactions in such chemical reactors. This short review aims to introduce some fundamental and practical aspects of thermal and non-thermal plasmas with their broad applications in chemical reaction engineering.
