Abstract :
The Coulomb force exerted by an electric field on free charges injected into Liquid Dielectrics (LD) may cause motion of that liquids. This motion is named as Electroconvection. The intensive electroconvection may be used to enhance heat transfer. Experiments indicate up to fifteenfold increases in Nusselt number in LD subjected high voltage electric field
