Design and Operation of Distribution Model for Electrical Potential Differences in Palm Trees

Abstract

Efforts to optimize palm tree production continue to grow. Various scientific disciplines such as Chemistry, Biology and Agriculture have shown good results. But from Physics aspect, especially electricity is still not taken into account, while consideration of the need for electrical treatment has developed in other plants that can contribute to its production. Similarly, oil palm plants also need to be optimized by electricity treatment. In the initial stage, this article modelled the arbitrary distribution of the oil potential difference of oil palm trees designed and operated numerically through Poisson equations. The result shows a near-ideal condition with homogeneous permittivity and charge, where the electrical potential gradient is very large in the midrib part, while at the end of the midrib it is nearly to zero. The electric flow of ions is very strong moving on the midrib and a little one on the midrib. This ideal simulation requires be continuing experimentally and comparing for palm oil data as well as non-linear electrical parameters.
