Abstract
The influence of the conductivity of a water droplet formed at a capillary electrode on the negative corona discharge and production of nano-sized droplets was investigated. Conductivity of a water droplet was adjusted from 1 μS/cm of deionized water to 48 mS/cm of nitric acid water solution. The size distribution of nanometer sized water particles yielded at a disruption of a Taylor cone was measured. The higher conductivity of a droplet, the larger corona pulses appeared and the more number of charged droplets was generated.
