Dimensional Analysis of Electro-Separation Kinetics of Particles from Dielectric Liquids

摘要

This paper refers to the dielectric liquid-particle electro-separation. The method of dielectric liquid treatment in electric field and the physical quantities involved in the electro-separation process are presented. In order to determine the dimensionless numbers involved in the electro-separation process a dimensional analysis is realized with the purpose to obtain an equation that expresses the efficiency of the electro-separation kinetics depending on the physical quantities involved in it. To simulate the dependence of particles relative concentration and the processing relative time on other similarity criteria a calculation algorithm in Mathcad 14 software was developed.
