Parameter identification in non-isothermal nucleation and growth processes

چکیده
We study non-isothermal nucleation and growth phase transformations, which are described by a generalized Avrami model for the phase transition coupled with an energy balance to account for recalescence effects. The main novelty of our work is the identification of temperature dependent nucleation rates. We prove that such rates can be uniquely identified from measurements in a subdomain and apply an optimal control approach to develop a numerical strategy for its computation.

Study of Non-Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Biodegradable Poly(ethylene adipate)/SiO2 Nanocomposites
Poly(ethylene adipte) and poly(ethylene adipate)/silica nanocomposite (PEAd/SiO2) containing 3 wt. % SiO2 were prepared by an in situ method. The examinations on the non-isothermal crystallization kinetic behavior have been conducted by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The Avrami, Ozawa, and combined Avrami and Ozawa equations were applied to describe the crystallization kinet...
متن کاملNon-isothermal Primary Crystallization Kinetics of the Amorphous Fe85.3B11P3Cu0.7 Alloy
In the present research, the primary crystallization kinetics of the amorphous Fe85.3B11P3Cu0.7 alloy was analyzed using non-isothermal DSC measurements. The average and local activation energies, Ea, were determined by different isokinetic and isoconversional methods. The results obtained for activation energy in this research, show that due to the complexity of the primary crystallization pro...
متن کاملStudy of Non-Isothermal Crystallization of Polydioxanone and Analysis of Morphological Changes Occurring during Heating and Cooling Processes
Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polydioxanone (PDO), a polymer with well-established applications as bioabsorbable monofilar suture, was investigated by Avrami, Mo, and isoconversional methodologies. Results showed Avrami exponents appearing in a relatively narrow range (i.e., between 3.76 and 2.77), which suggested a three-dimensional spherulitic growth and instantaneous nucleation ...
متن کاملIn¯uence of the Nucleation Time-lag on the Activation Energy in Non-isothermal Crystallization
In the present work, the in¯uence of the nucleation time-lag on the non-isothermal glass crystallization is discussed. Dierential thermal analysis (DTA) results of an iron-rich glass nucleated by Cr 2 O 3 were obtained at dierent heating rates. The activation energy of crystallization, E c , and the Avrami parameter, m, estimated by Kissinger's and Ozawa's equations were shown to be dependent...
متن کاملMathematical Modeling of Solidification of Semi- crystalline Polymers under Quiescent Non-isothermal Crystallization: Determination of Crystallite’s Size
In this paper, a mathematical model for the solidification of the semi-crystalline polymers is proposed to predict the size of the crystallites. In addition to the degree of the crystallinity, the size of the crystallites is one of the structural variables, which can shape the mechanical properties of the polymer materials. During the quiescent non-isothermal processes, the mean radius of cryst...
