This work offers an alternative teaching proposal for the instruction of challenging concepts of electric field distribution and specific conductivity in a non-uniform electric field. Specifically, electric field lines are initially plotted and later on the relation between the electric potential difference and electric field strength is validated.  Additionally, on a selected electric field line, electric field strength versus path length and also conductivity versus path length are plotted to comprehend and teach exceedingly difficult concepts of uniform and non-uniform electric fields. In order to accomplish those tasks, a basic conducting sheet, that is simply a wet cardboard, is designed as a part of the apparatus together with a dc power supply, a multi meter and connecting cables. The established method is interesting in the sense that designed the conducting wet cardboard is novel, very practical, beneficial and minimal costing, hence the approach offers physics educators fresh teaching routes and opportunities to clarify the puzzling concepts of electrical field and conductivity.

Faulty insulators could appear in the HV transmission line insulator string under the comprehensive effect of electrical, mechanical and environmental factors and they can be detected according to the space potential and electric field distribution variation characteristics around the insulator string. Finite Element Method (FEM) was used to study the potential and electric field distributions of a 220kV suspension insulator string contained a zero-value insulator in windage condition, comparing with a fine insulator string. The results show that the variation of the space potential and electric field distributions of insulator string is the same as that under no windage condition. The curve of synthetic electric field along the central axis around the good insulator string is U-shape. The 10th and 11th insulators from the high-voltage end are the sensitive insulators where the distortion ratio of synthetic field strength is higher than 3%, when a faulty insulator is in the string. This result can provide preferences for the online detection of faulty insulators.

Introduction: The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of three- dimensional wire-plate electrostatic precipitator is performed in the present study. Materials and methods: The momentum equation, the electric potential equation and current continuity equation are solved by using ANSYS Fluent. The ion charge density at the corona is calculated iteratively using the Peek formula. The SIMPLE algorithm is used to treat the pressure-velocity cou- pling. The RNG k-ε model is used to describe turbulence. Results: The airflow keeps stable away from the first corona electrode. The distribution of the electric potential is dependent on the wire-plate distance and the wire-wire distance. The potential and ion charge density increase with the increase of the wire-plate distance. With the increase of wire-wire dis- tance, the maximum electric field strength decreases whereas the maximum ionic charge density increases. The ion charge density near the second corona electrode is relatively small. A small wire-wire distance will make the electric field concentrated around the wires. Conclusion: According to this study, the wire-wire distance and the wire- plate distance have great effect on the distribution of ion charge density and electric field strength.

The low productivity of conventional single-needle electrospinning inhibits the application of nanofibers to a commercial level. In order to improve the productivity of the electrospinning technique, a terraced spinneret has been designed based on the finite element analysis in this paper. The electric field distribution was modeled with the use of Ansoft Maxwell software. The experiment results demonstrated this special design spinneret has the potential to produce smooth nanofibers on a large scale.

Concentrated electric field is crucial in generation of needleless electrospinning, the electric field profile together with electric field strength of the spinneret affect the needleless electrospinning performance directly. Understanding the electric field of spinneret would definitely benefit the designing and optimization of needleless electrospinning. Based on the software COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5a, 3D finite element analysis has been used to analyze the electric field profile and electric field strength of a ring spinneret for needleless electrospinning. The electric field profile shows that strong electric field concentrates on the top of the ring with intensity higher than 70 kV/cm. The electric field of ring spinneret is greatly affected by the geometry of the ring and other experimental parameters such as applied voltage and collecting distance. The electric field analysis introduced in this study will be helpful in selecting proper spinneret and scaling up the production rate of nanofibers in needleless electrospinning.

Insulator strings are widely used in power systems for the dual task of mechanically supporting and electrically isolating the live phase conductors from the support tower. However, the electric field and voltage distribution of insulator string is uneven which may easily lead to corona, insulators surface deterioration and even flashover. So the calculation of the electric field and voltage distribution along them is a very important factor in the operation time. Besides, despite the variety of insulator material and profiles, no remarkable endeavor regarding their impacts upon electric field distribution has been made so far. In this paper, three-dimensional Finite Element Method (3-D FEM) softwareMaxwell is employed to simulate several 230-kV insulator strings with various types of porcelain and glass disc insulators and the electric field along them were compared, to investigate the effect of insulator types on electric field distribution.

PurposeIn electrochemotherapy, flexible electrodes, composed by an array of needles, are applied to human tissues to treat large surface tumors. The positioning of the needles in the tissue depends on the surface curvature. The parallel needle case is preferred, as their relative inclinations strongly affect the actual distribution of electric field. Nevertheless, in some case, small inclinations are unavoidable. The purpose of this paper is to study the electric field distribution for non-parallel needles.Design/methodology/approachThe effect of electrode position is evaluated systematically by means of numerical models and experiments on phantoms for two different angles (5° and 30°) and compared with the case of parallel needles. Potato model was used as phantom, as this tissue becomes dark after few hours from electroporation. The electroporation degree was gauged from the color changings on the potatoes.FindingsThe distribution of electric field in different needle configuration is found by means of finite element analysis (FEA) and experiments on potatoes. The electric field level of inclined needles was compared with parallel needle case. In particular, the electric field distribution in the case of inclined needles could be very different with respect to the one in the case of parallel needles. The degree of enhancement for different inclinations is visualized by potato color intensity. The FEA suggested that the needle parallelism has to be maintained as possible as if the tips are closer to each other, the electric field intensity could be different with respect to the one in the case of parallel needles.Originality/valueThis paper analyzes the effect of inclined electrodes considering also the non-linearity of tissues.
