Theoretical Approaches Towards the Analysis of Electroconvective Heat and Mass Transfer

CZU 665:37.014     

A brief analysis of the state-of-the-art in the area of heat and mass transfer from the point of view of its intensification, as well as the design of the heat exchangers based on the use of strongly non-uniform electric field and the presence of corona discharge is presented. An electric precipitator is taken as an example for consideration of peculiarities of electroconvective heat and mass exchanger based on the principle of corona discharge. The main problems that arise in the design of heat and mass transfer exchangers are formulated. A working equation describing the above mentioned problems is obtained and the corresponding partial solutions are found.
