The method for estimating corona power loss in a dust-loaded electrostatic precipitator numerically solves Poisson's equa- tion and current continuity equations in which the finite ele- ment method (FEM) and a modified method of characteristics (MMC) are used. The system is a computerized system that produces results showing how different parameters such as discharging wire radius, wire-to-wire spacing, wire-to-plate spacing, fly ash flow speed and applied voltage polarity influ- ence corona power loss and current density profiles
