Description:
The paper describes a mathematical model for fabric filtration with integral particle charging and collection in a combined electric and flow field. The model computes the non-uniform dust cake formation as a function of the average gas-to-cloth ratio, bag diameter and length, electrical conditions (voltage and current), and particle size distribution. The model is useful as an engineering tool for predicting performance for fabric filtration baghouses using integral particle charging and collection and can be applied to any further development of the technology that may be undertaken.
