Abstract

Electrical conductivity is an electrophysical characteristic, which is considered to be an estimate of the ability of substances to miss electrical current. Achieving the result of the formation of electrohydraulic discharges in water directly depends on the magnitude of the electrical conductivity, which argues the relevance of the topic. The paper presents the results of a study of the influence of electrohydraulic treatment on the change in the electrical conductivity of water. As a result of identifying significant factors influencing the process, rational parameters of the technological mode of electrohydraulic treatment of distilled, lake and tap water were selected. Curves of functional dependences of electrical conductivity on the number of spark high-voltage pulsed discharges are constructed. The relationship between the electrical conductivity of water and the modes of electrohydraulic effects is established.

Summary

Introduction

Electrohydraulic (EH) processing in a liquid medium is carried out to achieve different results and, as a result, is applied quite widely in various industries and in agriculture. Electrohydraulic treatment of water is accompanied by the following electrophysical characteristics of the process: high and ultra-high impulse hydraulic pressures; mechanical resonance phenomena; intense pulsed light, heat, ultraviolet radiation; multiple ionization of compounds and elements contained in a liquid [7] To study these effects, quite expensive instrumentation technical means of measurement are required. The authors propose a method of integrated assessment of electrophysical characteristics based on studies of the dynamics of changes in specific electrical conductivity (hereinafter referred to as electrical conductivity) by identifying patterns by which the change in electrical conductivity will correspond to the change in a number of electrophysical parameters This will serve to interpret the variation of technological regimes and possible constructive improvements of the installation in order to increase the achievable EH-effects [8]. The purpose of research is to establish the patterns and relationships of changes in conductivity as a result of EH-processing
