Transport Phenomena and Interfacial Kinetics in Multiphase Combustion Systems.
Abstract
Research accomplishments under this grant include: (1) demonstration of several laser-based real-time optical techniques for measuring vapor-particle-deposition rates onto cooled surfaces in combustion gases; (2) demonstration that thermophoresis dominates the capture of soot particles by thermocouples in laminar flames and that this phenomenon can be exploited to infer both local soot volume fractions and local gas temperatures; (3) development of effective boundary layer computational methods and correlations for thermophoretically-modified small particle transport across laminar and turbulent boundary layers; and (4) extension of the recently developed microwave induced plasma emission spectroscopic (MIPES) method to follow boron surface gasification kinetics. Seven presentations and eight publications describing these techniques/findings are documented. Keywords: Aerosols; convective diffusion; Deposition; Energy transfer; catalysis; fouling; soot.
