Transport Phenomena and Interfacial Kinetics in Multiphase Combustion Systems
Abstract
This final report summarizes Yale High Temperature Chemical Reaction Engineering Laboratory research methods/results (Grant AFOSR 84-0034) for the ca. five year period ending 12/31/88. Our techniques and results are outlined in the areas of (1) laser-based real-time optical techniques for measuring soot particle thermophoretic diffusivities in combustion gases, (2) role of thermophoresis and photophoresis in the capture of soot particles, (3) boundary layer computational methods and correlations for vapor and small particle transports, including the effects of particle size 'polydispersity', high mass loading and dopant redistribution, and (4) use of microwave-induced plasma emission spectroscopic (MIPES) methods to follow boron surface gasification kinetics in gaseous streams containing OBOBO(g). Presentations and archive publications describing these techniques and findings are documented, along with examples of impact of our results on research programs elsewhere. Keywords: Aerosols, Convective diffusion, Chemical vapor deposition, Energy transfer, Catalysis, Fouling, Soot.
