Deformation and breakup of aqueous drops in viscous oil under a uniform AC electric field

Electric coalescence in alternating current (AC) electric fields is an important electrical dehydration technology. The deformation and breakup of water drops are crucial to the application of this process. In this study, these procedures were examined experimentally in an AC electric field using a high-speed camera. The deformation and breakup of drops depend on the intensity and frequency of this field. Deformation is aggravated by the increase in frequency under a constant electric field strength. Furthermore, the electric strength of breakup weakens as the frequency increases. Thus, understanding the deformation process can help advance electrocoalescencer design.     

Coalescence behaviour of two large water-drops in viscous oil under a DC electric field

Electrically driven coalescence is one of the important methods to separate water from crude oils. In this paper, the coalescence behaviour of two water drops was studied experimentally using a high-speed imaging. The results show that the electric force induces the drops migrating towards each other before their contact. However the electric force drags the drops to separate after contact. There is a critical electric field strength above which the two drops would be separated again after they have been coalesced together. The understanding of the electric coalescence could be helpful to advance the design of the electrocoalescencers.     

Combustion of ethanol fuel droplet in vertical direct current electric field

Flame is affected by an external electric field because it contains ions and electrons related to chemical reactions. On the other hand, the movement of ions and electrons affects the external electric field due to their charge. This paper reports the combustion experiments of ethanol droplets in vertical electric field with variable distance electrodes apparatus in order to discuss the change of the external electric field due to the existence of flame. From a one-dimensional steady-state analysis, if the electric field is changed spatially, its effect on combustion behavior is aligned with V²/L³ and not V/L, where V is the applied voltage between electrodes, and L is distance between the electrodes. The droplet is burned between the two horizontal parallel electrodes. The flame deformation and the electric current are characterized by various electrode distances, and respectively, applied voltages. The vertical electric field induces a body force downwards on the flame. The flame deforms downward in the electric field because the electric body force counters the natural buoyancy. The relation between the applied voltage and electrode distance is investigated when the flame becomes vertically symmetrical and the results show that the deformation is the function of V/L^1.5. This indicates that the change in the electric field should be considered to discuss the effect of an external electric field on combustion behavior. The experimental results are rearranged using εV²/L³ where ε is electric permittivity of air because its unit is N/m³ and it considered to be the representative electric body force. Although its application is limited, qualitatively it can help to explain the experimental results of a droplet combustion. In addition, the degree of electron attachment to neutral molecules is discussed to interpret our experimental results.

等离子体在任意强度的直流电场中产生电流的过程

通过Fokker-Planck模拟,研究了等离子体在任意强度的直流电场中产生电流的过程以及电子分布函数的演变过程.研究发现,不同强度的电场中等离子体的行为存在着明显的差别.在弱电场中,电流与电场满足Spitzer公式,且电流产生的响应时间约等于撤销电场后电流衰减的弛豫时间;在中等强度的电场中,电子分布函数呈现为静止Maxwell分布和漂移Maxwell分布之和,而且在中等强度或者强直流电场中弛豫时间也将远远大于响应时间.根据电子分布函数的演变规律,推导了一组类似于流体力学方程的公式,这组方程像Spitzer公式一样简便地描述了等离子体中电流与电场的关系,并且对电场强度没有限制.数值模拟显示这组方程比Spitzer公式更适用于等离子体的混合粒子模拟中. 关键词： 等离子体电流 电子分布函数 Fokker-Planck模拟 Spitzer公式     

Numerical simulation of an uncharged droplet in a uniform electric field

The deformations of a real dielectric droplet subjected to a uniform alternating electric field and immersed in an insulating fluid are numerically studied by the Boundary Element Method. The alternating electric field time scale is taken much smaller than the hydrodynamic time scale of the droplet shape deformation. The influence of the frequency and the conductivity of the droplet upon the critical electric field, beyond which instabilities develop, are compared with the experimental measurements. Numerical results well account for experimental data while an unexpected good correspondence with Taylor's theory is found.

Investigation on dynamics of double emulsion droplet in a uniform electric field

Phase field method based on Cahn–Hilliard free energy formulation is adopted for predicting the behavior of double emulsion droplet suspended in a continuous phase under the influence of a uniform electric field. The role played by the inner droplet on the electric-field-driven fluid flow, and also on deformation of the outer droplet is predicted by present numerical simulation. Three different kind of deformation type of outer and inner droplet (prolate–oblate, prolate–prolate and oblate–prolate) has been observed. With increase in the volume fraction of inner drop, transition in the deformation of outer drop from prolate to oblate occurs at lower value of fluid permittivity ratio.     

Properties of a Si2N molecule under an external electric field

In the present work,we adopt the ccsd/6-31g（d） method to optimize the ground state structure and calculate the vibrational frequency of the Si2N molecule.The calculated frequencies accord satisfactorily with the experimental values,which helps confirm the ground state structure of the molecule.In order to find how the external electric field affects the Si2N molecule,we use the density functional method B3P86/6-31g（d） to optimize the ground state structure and the time-dependent density functional theory TDDFT/6-31g（d） to study the absorption spectra,the excitation energies,the oscillator strengths,and the dipole moments of the Si2N molecule under different external electric fields.It is found that the absorption spectra,the excitation energies,the oscillator strengths,and the dipole moments of the Si2N molecule are affected by the external electric field.One of the valuable results is that the absorption spectra of the yellow and the blue-violet light of the Si2N molecule each have a red shift under the electric field.The luminescence mechanism in the visible light region of the Si2N molecule is also investigated and compared with the experimental data.
