@Article{, title={A mathematical Model for Computing Effects of Back Corona in wire-duct Electrostatic Precipitators of Karbala Cement}, author={Fadhil K. Fulyful}, journal={Journal of University of Babylon مجلة جامعة بابل}, volume={22}, number={1}, pages={486-493}, year={2012}, abstract={This paper numerically analyzes the voltage-current characteristics associated with wire-duct electrostatic precipitator control of particulates pollution. Two cases are considered, first the (WDEP) under dust free air, second dust loading when the back corona discharge is formed by a series of micro-discharges in the air spaces between the particles of the dust layer deposited on the collecting plate. The finite difference method (FDM) is used to solve Poisson's equation and to satisfy the current continuity equation, respectively .The variation of the voltage –current characteristics, depending on resistivity and particle layer thickness.
