Electro-fluid-dynamic cooling devices (EFAs) are being recognized due to their enormous advantages for their application in several industrial sectors, their performance benefits from generated ionic winds and their singular features, which make them competitive with conventional fans and heatsinks. Due to the problems in the electronics industry, where traditional refrigeration systems are not effective due to their dimensions, this study analyzes an innovative arrangement based on wire-to-plane fins by direct current (DC) positive corona discharge in atmospheric air for applications. The paper focuses on optimizing the multicriteria geometry of the electrodes. Several parameters are analyzed such as the gap between emitter and ground electrodes, the electrode materials and geometry, the diameter of the high-voltage electrode and the influence of the dielectric barriers located near the corona electrode to improve heat exchange. Experimental validation shows the potential of this arrangement related to weight, volume, non-mobile parts and silence.

Abstract The paper presents the results of a study of the use of electro-separation methods for improvement of the utility value of 5 winter rapeseed cultivars. The process of electro-separation of rapeseed was conducted on a prototype apparatus built at the Laboratory of Application of Electro-technologies in Agriculture, Lviv National Agriculture University. The process facilitated separation of damaged, low quality seeds from the sowing material. The initial mean level of mechanically damaged seeds in the winter rapeseed cultivars studied varied within the range of 15.8-20.1%. Verification of the amount of seeds with mechanical damage was performed on X-ray images of seeds acquired by means of a digital X-ray apparatus. In the course of analysis of the X-ray images, it was noted that the mean level of mechanical damage to the seeds after the electro-separation was in the range of 2.1-3.8%. The application of the method of separation of rapeseeds in the corona discharge field yielded a significant reduction of the level of seeds with mechanical damage. The application of the method in practice may effectively contribute to improvement of the utility value of sowing material or seed material for production of edible oil.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) removal was investigated in a post-plasma catalysis (PPC) configuration in nearly dry air (RH = 0.7%) and moist air (RH = 15%), using, for non-thermal plasma (NTP), a 10-pin-to-plate negative DC corona discharge and, for PPC, Ce0.01Mn as a catalyst, calcined at 400 °C (Ce0.01Mn-400) or treated with nitric acid (Ce0.01Mn-AT). One of the key points was to take advantage of the ozone emitted from NTP as a potential source of active oxygen species for further oxidation, at a very low temperature (100 °C), of untreated TCE and of potential gaseous hazardous by-products from the NTP. The plasma-assisted Ce0.01Mn-AT catalyst presented the best CO2 yield in dry air, with minimization of the formation of gaseous chlorinated by-products. This result was attributed to the high level of oxygen vacancies with a higher amount of Mn3+, improved specific surface area and strong surface acidity. These features also allow the promotion of ozone decomposition efficiency. Both catalysts exhibited good stability towards chlorine. Ce0.01Mn-AT tested in moist air (RH = 15%) showed good stability as a function of time, indicating good water tolerance also.
