Mass Transport from Single Droplets in Imposed Electric Fields

摘要

Electric field effects on mass transfer involving droplets in a 2-ethyl-hexanol medium are studied. Single water droplets are observed under the influence of both steady and pulsed electric fields. Droplet oscillations result in the latter case, enhancing the continuous phase mass transfer coefficient. These data are compared with results from both nonoscillating mass transfer and theoretical models. 8 refs., 8 figs. (ERA citation 10:046881)
