The capability of a plasma to enhance combustion has significant practical implications. We present pictures showing the effect of a dielectric barrier discharge applied to propane prior to combustion. The plasma causes an increase in the flame propagation rate, attributed to the production of reactive radicals and fuel fragments in the plasma.
