The nonlinear interaction between an electron and a whistler wave propagating in a magnetoplasma has been studied and expressions for the resonance velocity, equilibrium relative phase angle, and the angular frequency of amplitude oscillations have been derived, taking into account the finite amplitude of the whistler wave, direct current electric field, and medium inhomogeneity. The parallel electric field and inhomogeneity cause detrapping of the particles.

Abstract Electrochemical water softening has been widely used in industrial circulating cooling water systems; however, their low deposition efficiency is the main drawback that limits usage in medium to large enterprises. In this work, the effect of different parameters on the hardness removal efficiency and energy consumption of the electrochemical water softening system is experimentally studied, and the performance of water softening applied by high frequency electric fields and direct current electric fields are comparative analyzed. The impact factors of the electrochemical water softening system are as follows: initial feed concentration of solute, magnitude of voltage, inter-electrode distance, area of cathode and frequency of power supply. To improve the analysis efficiency, the L25 (55) orthogonal table is used to investigate the five different factors at five levels. The experimental results are shown that the initial feed concentration of solute is the most significant factor affecting the hardness removal efficiency. The optimal combination for water softening in the group applied by high frequency electric field and direct current electric field are A3B2C1D4E3 and A2B5C3D1 respectively. The energy utilization of the device applied by high frequency electric field is 3.2 times that applied by direct current electric field. The practice shows that direct current electric fields have a better softening effect, and are is more suitable for scaling ion removal. Particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to observe the flow field induced by the electrolysis and found that the vertical and horizontal velocities of the flow field at low voltage are conducive to the migration of scaled ions to the cathode, and then the electrolytic reaction and deposition reaction synergy effect is the optimal.

The rheological behavior of electrorheological fluids with dispersed fillers whose particles have different crystalline structures is investigated in direct and alternating electric fields. The dielectric characteristics of the materials were measured and the influence of the strength, frequency, and shape of the signal of electric field was investigated, and the influence of temperature on the shear stress in electrorheological fluids was estimated in direct current electric field.

Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy have been clinically reported to provide prolonged overall survival in glioblastoma patients. Alternating electric fields with frequencies of 100~300 kHz and magnitudes of 1~3 V/cm are shown to suppress the growth of cancer cells via interactions with polar molecules within dividing cells. Since it is difficult to directly measure the electric fields inside the brain, simulation models of the human head provide a useful tool for predicting the electric field distribution. In the present study, a three-dimensional finite element head model consisting of the scalp, the skull, the dura, the cerebrospinal fluid, and the brain was built to study the electric field distribution under various applied potentials and electrode configurations. For simplicity, a direct-current electric field was used in the simulation. The total power dissipation and temperature elevation due to Joule heating in different head tissues were also evaluated. Based on the results, some guidelines are obtained in designing the electrode configuration for personalized glioblastoma electrotherapy.

Electric Field Treatment

Electrokinetic remediation is an effective technology to enhance bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil as the transport process of non-polar organic contaminants in soil was promoted under low-power direct current electric fields. In this study three treatments including the application of electric field treatment alone, inoculation treatment alone, and combination of the application of electric field and inoculation treatment were carried out. The results indicated that highest removal efficiency was 83% in couple of the application of electric field and inoculation treatment. TPH concentration decreased from 6000 mg.kg-1 to 2000 mg.kg-1 when a 30 voltage direct current electric field was applied to oil-contaminated soil for 10 min after 4 days. It was observed that dehydrogenase activity had no increase after application direct current electric field. However, the TPH degradation efficiency was 52% higher than the control treatment. GC analysis showed that n-alkanes (C14-C31) were preferentially degraded, and soil remaindered more low quality compounds after the application of electric field treatment applied 52 days. These results indicated that the application of electric field improved degradation of inoculated bacteria through promoting the transport of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous and electron acceptors.
