Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The publication describes the implementation of the experiment. Proper analysis and description are necessary despite the visual display of the experimental results. It is advisable for authors to refer to the literature on experimental design and modify the language used accordingly.

It is essential to precisely define the experiment's objective. Describe the input and response variables used in the experiment.

Next, the input settings are usually described as "runs of the experiment." I recommend renaming Table 1 to " Runs of the Experiment " for clarity as it displays inputs, not experimental parameters.

If a scientific publication includes an experiment, it should be statistically evaluated. The initial assumptions must be confirmed or refuted by clearly presenting the experiment's results. It is important to identify relationships between the inputs and the response. It is important to formulate conclusions that are based on the results of the experiment. If the experiment results are described, a template must be established to evaluate the same response characteristics for each setting.

The presentation of the results needs to be corrected. The way the results are presented at the moment is perplexing and hard to comprehend.

Reviewer 2 Report

I had carefully revised the manuscript and my decision is to be revised with minor revisions.

Reviewer comments:

1-   Abstract part needs to be reduced and rewritten to include identically 3 brief informative subheadings, Background, Methods, and Significant Findings from the applied characteristic methods.

2-   A future vision from authors about the  performance of controllable plasma pulse plugging removal technology must be incorporated

3-   More discussions need to be added to support the idea of research.

Minor editing of English language required

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear Authors

Thank you very much for allowing me to be part of the review of the work entitled:  Experimental Study on Performance Evaluation of Controlled  Plasma Pulse Plugging Removal Technology.  The paper is well structured according to the parameters of the journal.  The research topic is very successful, I would like to share with you some observations to improve the work done.  I will divide the comments into sections that are related to your work:

Introduction

The introduction includes current references related to the research and it is relevant to include the objective pursued, as it provides clarity to those interested in the subject.

Materials and Methods

The  proposed methods are adequate

Discussion

It would be good to improve the Discussion a little by including other similar works that would help to test the hypotheses put forward.

Results

The results are presented in an appropriate and clear manner.  

Conclusions

It would be good  include in the conclusion a paragraph indicating how the objective has been achieved?
