Effect of Electrode Length on the Performance of EHD Gas Pump

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of electrode length on the characteristics of flow induced by an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) gas pump in circular pipe have been experimentally examined in this study. The gas pump has a diameter of 61.8 mm and uses eight evenly spaced emitting electrodes which are flush mounted on the tube inner wall. The gap distance between emitting and ground electrodes is fixed at 25 mm and two emitting electrode lengths (15 mm and 40 mm) are considered. Experiments are conducted using positive corona discharge with voltage varying from 17.5 kV to 23 kV. Several important implications from the present results for practical engineering applications are presented.
