Electrostatic precipitator simulation

gas + solids -> clean gas + captured

Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a electrostatic precipitator — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

$\eta$

collection efficiency [0..1] — approaches 1 exponentially, which is why ESPs hit very high capture

$w$

particle migration velocity toward the plate [m/s]

$A$

total collecting-plate area [m²]

$Q$

gas volumetric flow [m³/s]

Parameters

migration_velocity [m/s, default 0.1], plate_area_m2 [default 200] (Deutsch-Anderson efficiency)
