7.9. Process Models
7.9.1. Energy and Power
Voltage across the treatment chamber (c), V = Vs C/(C + Cc).
Power demand per pulse, Pc (W):
(7.3)
where Qc is the energy per pulse, τp is the pulse period, and τ is the pulse period. Thus, if Cc << C, then V ≈ Vs, and maximum energy efficiency can be achieved.
7.9.2. Microbial Inactivation Models
A function was developed (Hulsheger and Niemann, 1980) to relate the survival rate of E. coli K12 to Ef (exponential decay pulses) by using experimental data and regression technique:
