Mathematical Modeling of Double-Stage Electrostatic Precipitators Based on a Modified Eulerian Approach

A new mathematical model has been developed to predict the performance of a double-stage electrostatic precipitator. This model is based on the Eulerian approach for particle dispersion taking into account the particle size distribution. In this model, by calculating the frequency size distribution...

Summary:A new mathematical model has been developed to predict the performance of a double-stage electrostatic precipitator. This model is based on the Eulerian approach for particle dispersion taking into account the particle size distribution. In this model, by calculating the frequency size distribution of particles and particle concentration distribution simultaneously through a modified particle dispersion equation, the CPU time for solving the governing equations has been reduced significantly. In order to evaluate velocity distribution of the fluid, the k
