Linear AC electrode concept

The aim of the project was to design a design solution for a completely unique AC linear overflow electrode and its variants, which would eliminate the existing technological problems associated with the use of multiple rod electrodes and create a continuous layer of nanofibers that could be very easily captured on the underlying textile. This electrode was to enable the preparation of approximately 50 cm of a strip of nanofibers in the form of a non-woven textile and was to ensure the most economical use of the material for spinning. The main aspect of the solution was to ensure that the polymer solution was dosed evenly along the entire length of its edge. It was therefore necessary to simulate the hydraulic flow of the polymer solution inside and outside the electrode, to design the number of dosing inputs and to perform further optimization to ensure uniform overflow along the entire length of its edge. It was also necessary for the electrode to be self-cleaning and for the overflow to be continuous. An equally important requirement was that the path of the polymer solution should be as short as possible, i.e. that the outer wall along which the polymer solution will flow to the point where it will be taken and fed back into the process should be as low as possible. Another aspect of the solution was to determine the optimal flow point with respect to nanofiber productivity.
