Experimental and theoretical research of the process of low-temperature transformations of mixture ethanol/water in nonequilibrium plasma of the electric discharge in gas channel with fluid wall was carrying out. The gas channel in liquids was created by two counter airstreams in liquids and vapor of the liquids. The gas chromatography and massspectrometric techniques for investigation of stable gas-phase conversion products were used. The power inputs on conversion of mixture in synthesis – gas were measured. The values of efficiency, coefficient of energy transformation, specific energy requirement of system were calculated. Experimental results indicate the possibility and efficiency of plasmachemical conversions of ethanol in syntheses-gas in such plasma-liquid system of the atmospheric pressure.
