“…12 Much work has investigated the effect of ambient RH once. 9,10,[13][14][15][16][17][18] However, existing studies significantly disagree about the effect of RH on CE: some results show that CE increases with increasing RH, 9 others show that CE decreases as RH is increased, [14][15][16][17] and more still state as RH increases, CE increases at lower RH, followed by decreases at higher RH. 18 In addition, the results of Refs.…”

This paper reports an experimental study of the contact electrification (CE) that happens when glass spheres of identical materials collide under different ambient relative humidity (RH) conditions. The experimental results indicate that the net charge on a sphere from a single collision is significantly altered by varying the RH level; the charge increases with increasing RH at low humidity, and then decreases at high RH conditions. The net charge reaches a maximum in the 20%–40% RH range. To explain the dependence of the CE on RH, we propose a model which yields predictions in agreement with the experimental data. The model also reveals how CE can be affected by temperature and surface absorption energy.

“…It is also found that the increase of air relative humidity favors the positive glow formation and affects its stability. Nouria et al [11] was characterized the behavior of DC corona discharge in wire-to-plane ESPs as influenced by the RH of the inlet air. The authors reported in this paper that discharge current is strongly affected by the RH level of the inlet air.…”

“…This equation included the influence of temperature and pressure, but the effect of air humidity was ignored. Many researchers numerically studied the distribution of electric filed and charge density in electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) [11,12]. Peek equation was used in these studies, which considered the effects of temperature and pressure.…”

The effect of humidity on the negative corona discharge of electrostatic precipitators was experimentally and numerically studied. The current-voltage characteristics of a wire-plate electrostatic precipitator was measured over a range of temperatures and relative humidities. The inception voltage and electric field were determined based on the streamer theory. A numerical method was used to study the influence of humidity on the distributions of electric field and charge density in an electrostatic precipitator. The results showed that the inception voltage and electric field decreased with the increase of humidity. The corona current was significantly affected by the humidity. A modified Peek formula was proposed with a correction to the humidity. The corona currents calculated with the modified Peek formula were in acceptable agreement with the experimental results. The distributions of electric field and charge density were affected by the humidity and applied voltage.
