ELECTRICALLY CHARGED MACROSCOPIC PARTICLES IN DIRECT OR ALTERNATING ELECTRIC FIELD

Jaroslav Džmura - Karol Marton

   In this paper the conditions which are suitable for the separation of macroscopic particles in a direct or alternating high voltage electric field are analysed. Considering the force effects of the electric field, affecting the transport of electrically charged macroscopic particles, the mathematics-physical analysis of motion or dynamics of particles in electric fields created by direct or alternating high voltage source is described. In this paper the basic equation of motion for particles trajectory and velocity and their comparing in both types of electric field are derived. The occurrence of monopolar charge in surroundings of combined coronary electrode made of metal covered with dielectric is discussed in this paper and the physical analysis of this phenomenon is given. Theoretical considerations are supported by experiment.

Keywords: electrostatic precipitation, motion of macroscopic particles in electric field
