Annotation
It is shown that nonequilibrium gas-discharge plasma can be used to nonthermally ignite a supersonic jet of a gaseous hydrocarbon propellant. The mathematical modeling of ignition of hydrogen—oxygen, methane—air, and propane—air mixtures has revealed that the effect of nonequilibrium plasma manifests itself most vividly at low temperatures, when the thermal equilibrium ignition time is large.
