Charge-to-Mass Relationships for Electrohydrodynamically Sprayed Liquid Droplets

摘要: From a mathematical model suggested by Vonnegut and Neubauer, relationships between droplet radius charge to mass ratio are developed for electrohydrodynamically sprayed liquid particles. Under the assumption that an unstable disrupts into equally sized charged particles so system energy tends toward minimum value, probability distributions of charge‐to‐mass derived as modified Maxwell—Boltzmann functions; such functions explain certain features experimentally observed distributions. That systems tend configuration is verfied experimental evidence Wood's metal, octoil, glycerine.
