Synopsis

This book is aimed at all those who need to understand and monitor industrial electrostatic effects. It provides a thorough treatment of the basic concepts and introduces the mechanisms by which static electricity is generated. A detailed, functional description of the instrumentation necessary for measuring all the important parameters associated with static electricity, i.e., charge, electric field, potential, minimum ignition energy, resistivity and charge relaxation time The conceptual and theoretical backgrounds of the measurement techniques are included, thus helping the reader to make measurements on an electrostatic system, confident that major pitfalls have been avoided. Wherever possible, industrially relevant examples of each new topic are given, which will be of value both to practising technical engineers and to university students. The mathematical approach adopted is rigorous, but it is not overly formal. By application of the ideas presented in this book, the reader will be able to extract meaningful quantitative data from measurements and will gain a good physical understanding of the subject.

About this title

From the Publisher

A thorough treatment of the basic concepts and the mechanisms which generate static electricity. Details methods for quantitative measurement of static electricity and its related phenomena along with the appropriate instrumentation including several common pitfalls to avoid when making and interpreting the results. Features industrially relevant examples for each new topic.

Review

They [the authors] show the importance of electrostatics, both from the point of view of the hazards that electric charge creates, and the benefits it confers on practical industrial processes.....This well-written book is a valuable addition to the literature on electrostatics
