As for seeking practically applicable electrode configuration to remove conductive particles from liquefied plastics, the conductive particle motion in the tilted electrode system has been carefully investigated. A charged particle shows up-and-down motion between electrodes. Depending on the applied voltage, a particle transverses either toward narrower gap or the wider gap. Between those two modes, there is a steady upand-down motion. This trapped position is gradually shifted toward wider gap side with the increase of the applied voltage. One of interesting results is that the electric field at the trapped position is almost constant, 1.6 -1.8 Mvlm nevertheless the trapped position shifts. The numerical calculation for the trapped position reveals that the trapped position with experiment is located somewhat in the narrower gap side than the calculated value. Assuming that the particle charge is 40 -60 % of the theoretical prediction, the calculated trapped position is in good agreement with the experiment results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
