Robust Numerical Resolution of Nakamura Crystallization Kinetics
نویسنده
چکیده
The numerical prediction of crystallization transformation is of great interest in several applications. One such application is the polymer-forming process. In this short communication, the integration of the widely used Nakamura kinetics is discussed. A robust time integration method is proposed. In order to overcome its singularities, the Nakamura function is thresholded. A convergence analysis provides guidelines for the threshold values and time discretization.

Forward and inverse integration of population balance equations with size-dependent growth kinetics
A method for forward and inverse integration of a class of population balance equations with a size-dependent growth rate is contributed in this article. A unique differential transformation of the independent time and internal coordinates is introduced, leading to straight line characteristics with constant values for the density function. The evolution of the density function is then given by...
متن کاملRobust Optimal Temperature Operation for Seeded Batch Crystallization Processes
Robust optimal temperature trajectories for seeded batch crystallization processes under size-dependent crystallization kinetics are proposed, which minimize the amount of fine crystals. First, a deterministic optimal temperature-swing trajectory is calculated by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Furthermore, robust trajectories are proposed by considering parametric perturbations in the proce...
متن کاملA total variation diminishing high resolution scheme for nonlinear conservation laws
In this paper we propose a novel high resolution scheme for scalar nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. The aim of high resolution schemes is to provide at least second order accuracy in smooth regions and produce sharp solutions near the discontinuities. We prove that the proposed scheme that is derived by utilizing an appropriate flux limiter is nonlinear stable in the sense of total varia...

Transparent glasses in a system of Li2O-MgO-SiO2-Al2O3-Fchemical constituents were prepared by melt quenching method. In the fabrication of nanocrystal glass-ceramics, controlled nucleation and subsequent crystal growth were necessary to avoid loss of transparency. It was therefore important to understand thermal properties and crystallization kinetic...

Isothermal melt crystallization kinetics of PVDF was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Thin PVDF film has been fabricated by the solvent casting technique using dimethylformamide (DMF). Then, the samples were melted and subsequently crystallized in the range of the crystallization temperature (Tc) between 138 and 145 °C. The crystallization kinetics was derived from Avrami equa...
