The analysis of the charge on a cylindrical dielectric particle in unipolar corona field

In this study, a nonlinear integro-differential equation is derived to express the charging kinetics of stationary and rotational cylindrical dielectric particle in unipolar corona field. An algorithm is developed to solve the derived equation numerically by using Euler method. The variation of charge on the dielectric cylindrical particle is presented and evaluated by considering the variable parameters of the particle, medium and field. Assessments of the numerical results demonstrate that the limit charge value on stationary cylindrical dielectric particle during the charging process in unipolar corona field is less in comparison with the rotational cylindrical particle in identical conditions. Also this is an important factor for electron–ion technology in the aspect of charging kinetic problems.
