The results of experimental investigations on optimization of the process
of conversion of ethanol in a high-voltage atmospheric-pressure discharge
have been presented. The influence of the structural features of the reactor
on the yield and energy cost of conversion products has been investigated.
The reactors' operating regimes ensuring the maximum values of the specific
output and the minimum values of the energy cost of hydrogen have been established.
