Abstract
It is necessary to establish measures to prevent back discharge and to design an economical electrostatic precipitator (ESP) for flyash particle collection in coal burning electric power stations.
Under these circumstances, it is necessary to analyze fine flyash particle motion in an ESP for each particle diameter within a range of one micron.
The motion of charged flyash particle is influenced by Coulomb force and by viscosity force in an ESP. Flyash particle motion is therefore analyzed based on electro-hydro-dynamics. This paper describes the flyash particle trajectories observed using a visualization technique and the computed simulation results.
