A 1 MHz focusing transducer was used. Size distribution measurements and observations using standard high speed cine techniques are described. Photographs taken with a very high speed cine technique normally used for observing explosions are also described. A discussion of the fundamental mechanisms of small droplet production is given.

Research paper thumbnail of The Finite-Element Method Applied to Axisymmetric Field Problems in Silos

IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, 1980

The application of the finite-element technique to the calculation of electrostatic potentials an... more The application of the finite-element technique to the calculation of electrostatic potentials and fields in axisymmetric containers being loaded with charged powders is illustrated. Charge accumulation during such processes can result in the onset of hazardous conditions. The electrostatic potential distributions due to some simple charge distributions are investigated, and the value of such an approach in industrial electrostatics is

Some earlier workers' results are discussed, and the shortcomings of existing theories are highlighted. A requirement for new and improved instrumentation is identified. Two fully instrumented fueling installations which have been constructed at Southampton for experiments on static hazards are described. An automatic active control system which can be used for eliminating charge in fuel by the injection of neutralizing charge has been developed and tested on the full-scale fueling facility. The conception, development, and testing of this apparatus are described. Its use in producing neutral fuel for assessing the individual charge generating properties of various components such as plastic pipe sections is discussed. The development of a novel type of charge density meter which has no moving parts and which has been proposed as the basic transducer for the control system is outlined.
