Relevance of electrostatic precipitation technology

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Electrostatic precipitation (ESP) technology remains relevant, particularly in the context of back-corona discharge and its operation under high inlet dust loadings. The discussion highlights the use of mathematical modeling tools such as COMSOL for investigating these phenomena. While there are emerging fields like electrohydrodynamics and microfluidics, the potential for research in ESP, especially with innovative modeling techniques, suggests it is a viable dissertation topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrostatic precipitation technology
  • Familiarity with back-corona discharge concepts

Hello. Is electrostatic precipitation technology relevant nowadays? Is it worth making candidate dissertation on it?

I am going to investigate back-corona discharge in ESP and operation of ESP under height inlet dust loadings by means of mathematical modelling (Comsol, my own programs if it's necessary).

Is it better consider another field of activity? Is electrohydrodynamics or microfluidics more topical at present?
