Abstract

The results of an experimental study of the behavior of a mixture of benzene and chlorobenzene under the influence of a highly inhomogeneous alternating electric field are presented in the paper. The inhomogeneity of the field is set by tip-plane geometry of the electrodes. The frequency of the alternating electric field is 50 Hz. Experimental observations have shown that with a gradual increase in the potential difference between the electrodes, the fluid motion is excited in a threshold manner. The flow is a narrow intense jet directed from the tip electrode towards the plane one. The return flow is axisymmetric. It is shown that the threshold potential difference and the intensity of convective motion significantly depend on the composition of the mixture.
