Effect of Electrode Distance on Combustion Behavior of Fuel Droplet in Vertical DC Electric Field

Flames are affected by external electric fields because they contain ions and electrons. The movement of ions and electrons affects the external electric field owing to their charge. In this context, this paper discusses the change in the electric field on the basis of experimental results obtained at different electrode distances. Employing one-dimensional (1D) steady-state analysis, we assume that if the electric field is changed spatially,...
