Experimental Study on Agglomeration of Smoke Particle in Electric Field

The agglomeration phenomenon of the charged smoke particle has been investigated by the electricfluid mechanics and transport theory of external force field and depending on several simplifying assumptions the theoretical expression for the agglomeration rate of the smoke particles has been developed. In a model of electrostatic precipitator the agglomeration mechanism of charged particles has ...

Experimental Study of Heat Transfer around a Cylinder in Presence of Electric Field

In this paper, effects of EHD actuators on hydrodynamic behavior and heat transfer of air flow over a circular cylinder were considered. Pressure and temperature distributions around the cylinder were measured in presence of wire-plate EHD actuators. The Reynolds number based on cylinder diameter (d) were 3500, 7000. Experiments were performed for various configurations. Based on obtained resul...

An Experimental Study of the Effect of High Electric Field on Mass Transfer Enhancement

Applying corona wind as a novel technique can lead to a great level of heat and mass transfer augmentation by using a very small amount of energy. The enhancement of forced flow evaporation rate by applying electric field (corona wind) has been experimentally evaluated in this study. Corona wind produced by a fine wire electrode charged with positive high DC voltage impinges on water surface an...

Study of leaky dielectric droplet behavior under an electric field: effect of viscosity and electric conductivity ratios

In this research, hydrodynamic behavior of a leaky dielectric droplet under an electric field is simulated. The level set method is used for interface tracking and the ghost fluid method is used for modeling discontinuous quantities at interface. Using Taylor’s leaky dielectric model, electric field and electric force at the interface is calculated. Simulation results show the droplet deformati...
