Pre-Charged Particle Deposition in an Impactor subjected to an Electric Field

전기장이 형성된 관성 충돌기에서 대전 입자의 거동과 부착 특성에 대한 연구

Effect of electrostatic and inertial forces on the pre-charged particle deposition was theoretically and experimentally studied by introducing the inertia impactor subjected to an electric field. To derive the analytic solution, we assumed that a flow was an ideal stagnation flow, a particle had saturation charges, and the electric field within the test section was uniform. On the other hand, $Al_2O_3$ particle groups were used as the test particles, which mean sizes were $1{\mu}m$, $3{\mu}m$, and $5{\mu}m$. To measure the deposition efficiency, the light scattering method was used. The results showed that the deposition efficiency was minimized at a certain nozzle velocity as increasing the nozzle velocity, only if the electric force was applied. As the electric field strength increased, $Stk_{50}{^{1/2}}$ was decreased, and its decreasing rate was reduced with increasing the flow velocity. Moreover the existence of electric field was against the cut-off performance of the inertia impactor.
