Abstract

The equation generally used for determining the electric field at the liquid tip in electrical spraying of liquids was originally derived for determining the electric field around a metal tip in the extraction of electrons from metals. In the present paper experimental data were taken at the instant of spraying to determine the validity of using this equation for liquid tips. the results indicate that the value of electric field given by this equation needs to be increased by about 20% in the normal range of operation. A model for the spraying mechanism of the liquid is also presented. © 1968.
