Enhancement of the electric field at a solid insulator/electrode/gas triple junction and on the surface of an insulator, due to imperfect contacts, surface irregularities and contamination, reduces the withstand voltage of the gas-only system. The charges deposited on the surface and in the bulk of the insulator, when stressed under high voltage, further modify the electric field. In the paper, the influence of accumulated static charges on the electric field distribution associated with a cylindrical insulator held between plane electrodes in atmospheric air is investigated. The electric field along the solid dielectric/air interface is calculated for different surface and volume charge distributions by using the finite-difference method based on Gauss's law. Derivation of the iteration equations are relatively easy, and, unlike most methods, there is no need for external imposition of solid dielectric/gas boundary conditions. The results indicate that, for some surface and volume charge distributions, field enhancement occurs at the triple junction, and this could initiate a surface flashover.

RECONSTRUCTION OF PERMITTIVITY AND CONDUCTIVITY PROFILES OF A DIELECTRIC SLAB IN THE TIME DOMAIN BY DESCENT METHODS ONDER, M; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 1992-10-01) An optimisation approach is presented for the problem of reconstructing the permittivity and conductivity profiles of a dielectric slab from the reflected and transmitted field data. The problem is treated as an optimal control problem where the norm of the difference of measured and calculated boundary data is minimised subject to the state equation governing the system. The original constrained optimisation problem is reduced to the evaluation of stationary points of an augmented functional which is obtai...
Extraction Using Moderate Electric Fields Şensoy, İlkay (2004-01-01) During moderate electric field (MEF) processing, a voltage applied across a food material may affect the permeability of cell membranes. It is known that high electric fields can cause either reversible or irreversible rupture of cell membranes. In this research, the effect of MEF processing on permeability was studied. Effects of frequency and electric field strength were investigated. Cellular structure was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fermented black tea leaves and fresh or dry...
Investigation of Au-Ag-Cu Alloy Electrodeposition to Electromechanical Systems Cagan, Berkay; ERDOĞAN, METEHAN; Karakaya, İshak; Yilmaz, Cemil; Yurdakul, Burak (2020-04-01) © 2020 ECS - The Electrochemical Society.Electromechanical systems, which provide electrical power and data connection between moving terminals require high conduction and erosion resistant surfaces. Transfers of electrical power and data are accomplished by the contact of drum and brush wires. The simultaneous electrochemical deposition of desired Au-Ag-Cu alloy compositions, which can be used to coat the brush wires, was investigated in this study. In the scope of the study, the static potential and cycli...
Low-frequency Breakdown of the Potential Integral Equations and Its Remedy Gür, Uğur Meriç; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-11-22) Potential integral equations (PIEs) introduced recently also have a low-frequency breakdown that becomes visible when considering the electric charge density and near-zone electric field intensity values. As opposed to the well-known low-frequency breakdown of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE), which shows itself as both inaccuracy and ill-conditioning, the low-frequency breakdown of PIEs is not related to the conditioning properties of the related matrix equations. Therefore, we clearly distingui...
Calculation of the Dielectric Constant of a Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal From a Mean Field Model YURTSEVEN, HASAN HAMİT; Yurtseven, Hasan Hamit (2011-01-01) The static dielectric constant epsilon(perpendicular to) of the ferroelectric liquid crystal 4-(3-methyl-2-chlorobutanoyloxy)-4'--heptyloxybiphenyl (A7) with high spontaneous polarization is calculated as a function of temperature using a mean field model. This calculation is performed close to the smectic A-isotropic liquid (SmA-I) transition for pure optically active compound (T-c = 81.6 degrees C). For this calculation of epsilon(perpendicular to), the free energy of the SmA phase is expanded in terms of...
