Js. Chang et al., HYSTERESIS EFFECT OF CORONA DISCHARGE IN A NARROW COAXIAL WIRE-PIPE DISCHARGE-TUBE WITH GAS-FLOW, IEEE transactions on industry applications, 32(6), 1996, pp. 1250-1256
An experimental investigation has been conducted to study corona disch
arge in a narrow tube, Narrow or capillary corona discharge (discharge
tube diameter d approximate to 1-20 mm) is used for many industrial a
pplications such as flue gas cleaning corona-induced plasma reactors,
ion sources, and electrohydrodynamic heat exchangers, Tn this work, co
rona discharge characteristics of a narrow coaxial wire-pipe discharge
tube with gas how are experimentally investigated, The results show t
hat, unlike normal corona discharge, a hysteresis in the corona discha
rge current-voltage characteristics was observed for narrow tube disch
arges, The on-set of the corona discharge was observed to be significa
ntly dependent on the gas temperature and gas flow rates.
