Abstract

To investigate the validity of the theoretical analysis presented in the previous work, formation of single charged drops from a dielectric liquid jet in a nonuniform electric field was studied experimentally. The electric field was formed by a configuration of an electrified liquid jet in the center of an earthed cylindrical electrode. The systems used were water-air and water-xylene-air for the liquid-gas systems and water-cyclo-hexane, water-hexane and silicone oil for the liquid-liquid systems. The jet length, jet radius and drop diameter decrease with applied voltage. It is shown that the experimental drop diameters agree well (within ±10%) for all systems with those calculated by using maximum growth rate of the interfacial wave and maximum wave number presented in the previous work. It was clarified experimentally that a whipping action of the jet is caused when the electrostatic pressure acting on the jet is greater than the interfacial pressure acting on the jet by applying the voltage. © 1990, The Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan.
