Abstract This paper presents a simple analytical model to estimate the effect of theboundary layer on the performance of a dc plasma reactor. A graphite linerwas inserted inside the reactor to raise the wall temperature. The model wasused to predict the Destruction and Removal Efficiency (DRE) of the reactorwith and without the graphite liner. The DRE of the device was measured forboth conditions and was found to be in close agreement with the predictedvalues. The model has shown that the DRE is a strong function of the walltemperature of the flight tube and is insensitive to the change in thetube's diameter.
