Production of monodisperse charged metal particles by harmonic electrical spraying

An electrohydrodynamic method known as harmonic electrical spraying is utilized for producing collimated beams of monodisperse, uniformly charged molten metal particles. The uniform particles are regularly emitted from an electrically stressed meniscus at a capillary tip. Data are presented showing...

Description
Summary:An electrohydrodynamic method known as harmonic electrical spraying is utilized for producing collimated beams of monodisperse, uniformly charged molten metal particles. The uniform particles are regularly emitted from an electrically stressed meniscus at a capillary tip. Data are presented showing the dependence of the process on applied voltage and reservoir pressure. An energy balance equation for the process is developed, and from this equation the velocity of the emitted particles is computed and compared with experimental values.
