Abstract
Gaseous particles or gas-entrained particles may be conveyed by electric fields acting on charged species included in the gaseous or gas-entrained particles.
Claims21
A method for transporting chemical reactants or products in a gas phase or gas-entrained chemical reaction, comprising:
- causing a charge imbalance among gaseous or gas-entrained charged species associated with a chemical reaction;
- and
- applying a sequence of electric fields to move the charge-imbalanced gaseous or gas-entrained charged species along a distance from a first location to a second location separated from the first location along a flame transport axis;
- wherein the chemical reaction includes a combustion reaction;
- and
- wherein moving the charge-imbalanced gaseous or gas-entrained charged species includes moving heated particles across a distance transverse to or in opposition to buoyancy forces on the heated particles.
