The fractionation technology of liquid mixtures under the action of an externally applied inhomogeneous electric field and the device – a capacitive electromechanical energy transducer that implements this technology are considered in this article. The operational principle of a capacitive electromechanical energy transducer with liquid rotor is described. The conclusion on the possibility of applying this technology to the fractionation of oil containing emulsions is made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
