The present work was specifically aimed at formulating recommendations for the calibration of two non-contact voltmeters and two field-meters currently employed for monitoring the electric potential at the surface of non-planar bodies. The experiments involved the measurement of the electric potential at the surface of planar and cylindrical electrodes of various shapes and sizes, connected to a positive high-voltage supply of 1.5 kV. The readings of each instrument were analyzed in relation with the configuration of the electrodes. As the four instruments have been designed for monitoring the electric potential on relatively large planar surfaces (>100 cm<sup>2</sup>), specific calibration was needed for measurements on bodies having geometrical characteristics that differ from those specified by the manufacturers. The experiments have shown that the interpretation of the results should consider the fact that the accuracy of the measurements diminishes when the axis of the probe approaches the edges of the electrode. In the case of non-planar surfaces, the measured values should be corrected by coefficients that can be determined by experiments conducted in conditions that mimic the situations of practical interest.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrostatics","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 104041"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although various pollutants coexist indoors, particulate matter (PM) is a major health concern. Even though different PM capture technologies are available in market as well as on lab scale, they pose several drawbacks. It was in this regard that electrostatic precipitator (ESP), a widely preferred technology for industrial application but has yet to be explored to that extent in indoor environments could provide multiple benefits in latter. Therefore, a miniature single-wire, single-stage and wire-plate square cross-sectional ESP was designed in laboratory and operated at optimal operating conditions based on theoretical calculations, experimental results as well as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling to obtain maximised capture of PM. Results from study confirmed that designed ESP was capable of capturing various standard aerosols such as sodium chloride, ammonium chloride and magnesium chloride with a total removal efficiency of 99.94 %–99.97 % in wide PM sizes from 10 nm to 800 nm. To simulate performance in a real scenario, experiments were also performed with major indoor PM sources like incense sticks, candle burning and mosquito coils having different particle number distributions and achieved a total PM capture efficiency of 99.24, 99.99 and 99.97 % respectively. Designed ESP also removed ambient air as well as infiltrated PM from outdoors with a total efficiency of 97.87 % and 99.74 % respectively. Additionally, energy consumed/clean air delivery rate (CADR) (0.32 W/(m³/hr)) and emission of by-products like ultrafine particles as well as nitrogen dioxide were found to be comparatively lesser compared to commercial purifiers suggesting its possible applicability in scaling up as an indoor air purifier.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrostatics","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 104038"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These improvements render PLA/PVA blends highly suitable for advanced medical applications, including wound dressings. This study pioneers the systematic optimization of electrospinning parameters— applied voltage, flow rate, and needle-to-collector distance—to achieve uniform fibre morphology and desired structural characteristics in PLA/PVA nanofibers. Utilizing the Taguchi design of experiment (DOE) methodology, this research provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of these parameters on the structure and diameter distribution of single-nozzle electrospun nanofibers. A novel aspect of this study is the exploration of a mutual solvent system for electrospinning these nanofibers, which has not been extensively investigated in existing literature. The findings reveal that flow rate is the most influential parameter, followed by applied voltage and needle-to-collector distance. Optimal electrospinning conditions—needle-to-collector distance of 18 cm, flow rate of 0.6 ml/h, and voltage of 18 kV—are identified, resulting in the smallest average fibre diameter and minimal variation. This work not only advances the field of nanofiber fabrication but also sets a new benchmark for the production of high-quality fibres with consistent properties. The insights gained from this study have far-reaching implications for biomedical applications, particularly in the development of effective wound dressing materials. Furthermore, the methodological innovations and theoretical contributions presented here have the potential to influence future research directions and policy decisions in the field of biomedical engineering, particularly in developing effective wound dressing materials, and offer potential insights for broader applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrostatics","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 104035"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two methods for shorting out the spark gap were elaborated, and a method for measuring circuit resistance through linear fit was developed in this paper. Experiments were conducted to compare and analyze different circuit resistance measurement methods. The method of shorting out the spark gap by wire is more recommended, compared to that by setting the electrode gap to zero. The linear fitting method avoids the problem of internal discharge in the discharge relay, but it needs to maintain consistency in the discharge environment to minimize the impact of electrostatic discharge randomness.

An experimental measurement system for needle-plate gap discharge under positive DC voltage is established, and it particularly focuses on discharge characteristics of silicon and tungsten needles with distinct curvature radii. Attributes including pulse repetition frequency, waveform parameters and pulse uniformity in different regimes were investigated quantitatively. Experimental results reveal that, three successive regimes of silicon needle discharge can be observed, including streamer corona, glow discharge, and spark breakdown. Tungsten needle exhibits a sequential transition of streamer corona, filamentary discharge, brush, and spark breakdown. And the streamer corona regime can be further delineated into spontaneous streamer, periodic streamer, and cluster streamer. Additionally, the effect of needle curvature radius on discharge parameters is also obtained. Needles with smaller curvature radius is easier to acquire pulses with high repetition frequency, while the needle with larger curvature radius is more likely to obtain pulses with high amplitude. The disparities in the discharge regimes between silicon needles and tungsten needles can be attributed to the variations in their conductivity properties and the different ways of charge migration and dissipation induced by the spatial electric field. And the discharge needle for electrostatic elimination is recommended to work in the periodic discharge stage with good uniformity and stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54842,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrostatics","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 104031"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143136278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
