Abstract
Change of the specific electric conductivity of liquid and prebreakdown energy losses Wпп at processing of vegetable raw material (flax straw, and two kinds of fibre) have been studied. Experimental data on the influence of the facility energy, discharge circuit parameters, processing time, concentration and position of raw material in the discharge chamber as well as on its preliminary treatment have been obtained. Electrical characteristics of the discharge have been determined. Pressure in the liquid medium in the domain of the raw material disposition are evaluated by calculations. The states of raw material before and after processing were under the control. Strong influence of the raw material on has been shown. There exists the maximum value of owing to extracting of different substances under processing of definite kind of the raw material, its concentration and disposition in the discharge chamber as well as the optimal value of the discharge energy when its exceeding does not cause increasing of the process efficiency. The raise of takes place due to powerful effect upon the raw material by accompaning factors such as raise of liquid tempera- ture affected by the discharge energy and heating during processing time of the raw material retting.
