Abstract
The principle of operation of an electrohydrodynamic pump (EHDP) is explained. Research problems are formulated for the study of the patterns and peculiarities of the operation of the EHDP for the purpose of its optimization. The experimental facility is described and the peculiarities of the relaxation of the output characteristics of a single-stage EHDP are determined. The dependences of the pressure and current characteristics on the time and voltage (dc) supplied to the EHDP are presented. New results related to very long operation of EHDPs are revealed, e.g., the fact that the pressure characteristics are fluctuating time functions. A theoretical model of the electric current transfer in an EHDP is presented, which is based on an analog electrical circuit.
