Electrical Field Strength

The electrical field in the space charge sheath between a Hg low-pressure plasma and an insulated plane wall was measured with an electron beam probe. Near the wall, the field strength was observed to increase linearly. Linear extrapolation to zero field strength is used here to define the thickness of the sheath which turned out to be 3 to 5 times the DEBYE length. On the other hand, the potential, the electrical field strength, and the space charge density in the sheath were, now, calculated (using BOHM'S criterion). Also theoretically, a (approximately) linear increase of field strength is found. A linear extrapolation of the theoretical values gives a boundary layer thickness about 6.7 to 6.9 times the DEBYE length, if the wall is at floating potential. Some differences are found between the experimental and the theoretical values of the wall potential and the space charge density in the sheath.

The Impact

Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) obtained by the crossing-linking reaction of polyethylene (PE) can greatly enhance the mechanical properties and other properties of PE, which makes XLPE widely applied in the field of electric power engineering. However, the space charges can distort the distribution of the electrical field strength in the XLPE applied in the insulation materials, which can shorten the service life of the insulation materials. Therefore, the space charge characteristics of XLPE under the strong direct current (DC) electric field have been the focus of scholars and engineers all over the world. This article has studied the impact of the cross-linking effect on the space charge characteristics of XLPE with different degrees of cross-linking. For this issue, we used dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as the cross-linking agent and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as the base material for the preparation of samples. Besides, the space charge distribution was measured by the pulsed electro-acoustic method (PEA). In addition, the average charge density as a characteristic parameter was introduced into the experiment, which was used to quantitatively analyze the impact of the cross-linking effect on the space charge characteristics of XLPE with different degrees of cross-linking. Meanwhile, we also explained the impact of the cross-linking effect on XLPE with different degrees of cross-linking from a microscopic point of view. Ultimately, some important conclusions can be obtained. For instance, the cross-linking effect significantly increases the threshold electrical field strength of XLPE, and as the content of cross-linking agent increases, the threshold electrical field strength increases at first and then decreases, and the threshold electrical field strength reaches the maximum value when the content of the cross-linking agent is 1.0% or 2.1%. Besides, the cross-linking effect introduces negative charge traps into the LDPE and increases the densities of the deeper charge traps, and so on. In addition, we have also analyzed the average charge density, and we have summarized the theoretical model of the average charge decay, namely, Q ( t ) = Q 0 + α e − t β , which is very effective for explaining the dissipation characteristics (more conclusive contents can be seen in the conclusion section of this article).

The Stability

Stability jet ejection and precision deposition are the two keys for industrial application of electrohydrodynamic printing. In this paper, inserted conductive probe is utilized to gain stability jet, which would increase the electrical field strength, reduce the back flow, onset and sustaining voltage. Lower applied voltage would enhance the stability of electrospun jet, in which fine jet can be used to direct-write orderly Micro/Nano-structure. With the guidance and constrain of inserted probe, the oscillating angle range of electrohydrodynamic jet is decreased to 3°from 15°, and the width of printed structures is 21μm in average that is much narrower than that printed from spinneret without probe (74μm in average). Spinneret with tip provides a good way to improve the control level of electrohydrodynamic printing, which would accelerate the industrial application of electrohydrodynamic printed Micro/Nano structure.

Fluid Behaviour

Pressure drop and electroviscous effects in the axisymmetric, steady, fully developed, pressure-driven flow of incompressible power-law fluids through a cylindrical microchannel at low Reynolds number (Re = 0.01) have been investigated. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation (describing the electrical potential) and the momentum equations in conjunction with electrical force and power-law fluid rheology have been solved numerically using the finite difference method. The pipe wall is considered to have uniform surface charge density (S = 4) and the liquid is assumed to be a symmetric electrolyte solution. In particular, the influence of the dimensionless inverse Debye length (K = 2, 20) and power-law flow behaviour index (n = 0.2, 1, 1.8) on the EDL potential, ion concentrations and charge density profiles, induced electrical field strength, velocity and viscosity profiles and pressure drop have been studied. As expected, the local EDL potential, local charge density and electrical field strength increases with decreasing K and/or increasing S. The velocity profiles cross-over away from the charged pipe wall with increasing K and/or decreasing n. The maximum velocity at the center of the pipe increases with increasing n and/or increasing S and/or decreasing K. The shear-thinning fluid viscosity is strongly dependent on K and S, whereas the shear-thickening viscosity is very weakly dependent on K and S. For fixed K, as the fluid behaviour changes from Newtonian (n = 1) to shear-thinning (n < 1), the induced electrical field strength increases and maximum velocity reduces. On the other hand, the change in fluid behaviour from Newtonian (n = 1) to shear-thickening (n > 1) decreases the electrical field strength and increases the maximum velocity. The non-Newtonian effects on maximum velocity and pressure drop are stronger in shear-thinning fluids at small K and large S, the shear-thickening fluids show opposite influence. Electroviscous effects enhance with decreasing K and/or increasing S. The electroviscous effects show complex dependence on the non-Newtonian tendency of the fluids. The shear-thickening (n > 1) fluids and/or smaller K show stronger influence on the pressure drop and thus, enhance the electroviscous effects than that in shear-thinning (n < 1) fluids and/or large K where EDL is very thin.

Disposal and penetration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the environment have raised increasing concerns over the years. In this study, a laboratory scale electro-microfiltration (EMF) was used to treat water containing single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The goal was to examine and compare the performance during EMF of SWCNT and MWCNT. The results showed that the initial flux was increased as the applied electrical voltage increased. At an applied pressure of 49 kPa, the final flux was comparable to pure water flux when the applied electrical field strength was greater than the critical electrical field strength (Ecritical). In addition, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal efficiency increased as the electrical voltage increased. Due to high convective transport of organic matter toward the membrane at 98 kPa, a decrease in DOC removal efficiency with increasing electrical field strength was observed. Overall, the fluxes and DOC removal efficiencies for EMF of SWCNT and MWCNT were not significantly different with a 95% confidence.
