Effects of buoyancy on EHD-enhanced forced convection in a horizontal channel

Experimental Investigation on Convective Heat Transfer Enhancement by Ehd

“…The ions which are propelled by the Columbic force transfers momentum to neutral fluid molecules which results in the bulk movement of air, causing an interaction between the ionic wind and the primary air flow (EHD combined flow). The EHD combined flow increases the convective heat transfer coefficient on the plate surface [3], [1]. Many questions regarding the optimization of the operating parameters still remain unanswered as reported by [1], [2].…”

“…The EHD combined flow increases the convective heat transfer coefficient on the plate surface [3], [1]. Many questions regarding the optimization of the operating parameters still remain unanswered as reported by [1], [2]. In this context, we are interested in the forced convection heat transfer enhancement by the ionic wind produced by corona discharge (wire to plate) in a channel.…”

Enhancement in Gas Pumping in a Square Channel With Two-Stage Corona Wind Generator

“…Since the assignment of this empirical constant is somewhat arbitrary, the approach proposed by Yamamoto and Velkoff [3] is preferred over the later ones [26], [27] in this study. However, it has been reported [29], [30] that the agreement between the results obtained by these two approaches is very good when the solutions converged.…”
