Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The programme will make major contributions to the science and technology of electrostatic precipitation. The project will develop systematic techniques for improving discharge electrodes and will prove those techniques using a full-scale precipitator. This will be done by (i) reviewing and extending the understanding of how electrode geometry affects the coupled physical processes that control particle charging and particle collection; (ii) constructing a mathematical model of the physical processes and simulating these on a computer so that new geometries can easily be tried; and (iii) constructing promising electrode designs and trying them both in a simple laboratory set-up and in the full-scale test unit of a major manufacturer.
