Resumen
Se determina la viabilidad que tiene el efecto corona para su aplicación en el filtrado de partículas PM2.5 haciendo uso de la dinámica de fluidos computacional. Tanto en el modelo teórico como en la comprobación experimental se utiliza una configuración coaxial de 1.5 cm de diámetro a través de la que 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.
