Electroconvective heat transfer in liquid dielectrics

摘要

The Coulomb force exerted by an electric field on free chargesinjected into Liquid Dielectrics (LD) may cause motion of that liquids.This motion is named as Electroconvection. The intensiveelectroconvection may be used to enhance heat transfer. Experimentsindicate up to fifteenfold increases in Nusselt number in LD subjectedhigh voltage electric field
