Clearing of Military Smokes and Aerosols
Abstract
A new device has been developed to measure the charge distribution of candidate smoke scavenger materials that are advertently charged with corona fields and by triboelectrification. It was shown that particle saturation charge can be achieved with triboelectrification nd that conductors charged more easily than dielectrics. It is also shown that particle shape has an influence on maximum particle charge. A phase II study is proposed that will attempt to extend the particle charge measurements to millimeter-sized scavenger particles. Keywords: Smoke scavenging; Particle charge distribution conductors; Triboelectrification; Dielectrics; Corona.
