Resumen
Haciendo uso de la Dinámica de Fluidos Computacional se determinó la viabilidad que tiene el efecto corona para su aplicación en el filtrado de partículas PM2.5. Tanto en el modelo teórico como la comprobación experimental se utilizó una configuración coaxial de 1.5 cm de diámetro, a través de esta se indujo un flujo de aire con velocidades de entre 0.5 y 1.5 m/s. En dicho flujo se liberaron gotículas con tamaños entre 0.3 y 2.5 μm y sobre el electrodo central se aplicó un potencial de 10 kV. Los resultados muestran que entre menor sea el tamaño de las partículas, menor es la eficiencia del filtro para recolectarlas; sin embargo, se consiguió hasta un 98% de efectividad en su recolección.
