“…Such an explanation -regarding the downward trend -is in agreement with the explanation given in [15,16]. In accordance with the above is also the model put forward in [17], where the upward or downward trend in conditioning is explained by the creation of an insulating layer on the electrodes (for upward conditioning) and its subsequent destruction (for downward trend) because of chemical transformations.…”

The present short review investigates some of the factors affecting the breakdown strength of transformer oil. Factors such as the conditioning effect, effect of oil flow, influence of impurities, type of applied voltage and electrode configuration and geometry are further discussed. It should be noted that this review does not discuss the effect of factors such as area, volume and capacitance. Velocity, impurities, electrodes’ shape and the type of applied voltage are among the factors documented to have a significant effect on breakdown strength.

“…Popovic et al generalised this approach in [21], by assuming that n is a phenomenological constant that can be obtained using the best fit between the calculated and experimental values of the breakdown channel resistances. It was shown in [21,22] that using (3) with n = 1/2 and n = 3/5 provides reasonable agreement with the experimentally-obtained transient spark resistance in air. Moreover, it was found in [20] that (3) with n = 1/2 can be used for description of the transient resistance of the breakdown channel in liquids: Fuhr and Schmidt used (3) in their analysis of the transient breakdown resistance in liquid hydrocarbons.…”

The experimental current and acoustic waveforms have been obtained using different combinations of the circuit capacitance, charging voltage and wire length. The resistances of plasma discharges have been calculated for all combinations of electrical and topological parameters, based on the constant resistance approach. Phenomenological scaling relationships that link the plasma resistance and the total energy delivered to the plasma, the period of discharge cavity oscillation and the peak magnitude of the acoustic impulse have been obtained. These relationships can be used in optimization of the acoustic output from the wire-guided discharges for different practical applications.

The application of strong electric fields in water and organic liquids has been studied for several years, because of its importance in electrical transmission processes and its practical applications in biology, chemistry, and electrochemistry. More recently, liquid-phase electrical discharge reactors have been investigated, and are being developed, for many environmental applications, including drinking water and wastewater treatment, as well as, potentially, for environmentally benign chemical processes. This paper reviews the current status of research on the application of high-voltage electrical discharges for promoting chemical reactions in the aqueous phase, with particular emphasis on applications to water cleaning.
