“…When a non-conductive medium (i.e., silicone oil) is placed between the corona generating and ground electrodes, a nonuniform electric field forms within the medium that can lead to its pumping and/or deformation depending on various processing parameters (i.e., h, L, V, and t). 36,45,53 For electroemulsification purposes via corona discharge, it is important to achieve efficient EHD pumping of silicone oil without its deformation, which is typically known as Taylor cone formation. 35,103 The deep deformations in the nonconductive silicone oil mostly occur due to extreme EHD forces that appear under certain processing conditions such as very low distance between the two electrodes (L and h), low depth of the silicone oil (t), very high corona voltages (V), etc.…”
