Abstract

Experimental investigation was conducted to study the flow regimes and discharge characteristics of plasma electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) for decane (C10H22) under pulsed applied negative voltage. The experimental parameters were set as the flow rate of decane from 0 to 10 mL/min and the dc charging voltage from dc 0 to 12 V with a pulse repetition rates of 200 Hz. The flow regime of decane was observed and the volume-to-electrical charge ratio was measured. Unlike a conventional EHDA system, the results show that a corona discharge was initiated at the edge of the hollow electrode at a specific corona on-set voltage of -17 or -20 kV in the case with or without decane flow, respectively. This phenomenon was defined as plasma EHDA.
