Other than usage for environmental remediation, ozone is also increasingly studied for its potential in combustion enhancement. In this study, the characterization of the ozone production at varied voltage, duty cycle and cylinder configuration for reactor was conducted using multivariable power least squares method (MPLSM). This alternative correlation method in the form of power function was applied in this study to determine the dominant factor affecting the ozone production using the multi-cylinder reactor. The regressed equation using MPLSM method indicated voltage as the dominant factor in the production of ozone compared to the effect of duty cycle. The correlations generated from MPLSM for both reactor configurations were able to predict most of the ozone concentration results within 25% deviation from the actual experimental data. As such, MPLSM could be considered as an alternative method to be used for correlations of non-polynomial results.
