Cfd Simulation of Flame Spray Process for Silica Nanopowder Synthesis from Tetraethylorthosilicate (teos)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The process of synthesizing silica nanopowder by the gas phase thermal oxidation of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) in a diffusion flame reactor was simulated using a commercial computational fluid dynamic (CFD) code. The fuel combustion process and silica particle formation and growth in the flame are modeled. The temperature, velocity and particle size distribution (PSD) fields inside the reactor are computed. Chemical reaction rate and population balance model (PBM) were used to calculate the particle formation and growth and PSD.

متن کاملThe role of the DCCAs in the preparation of crack-free Xerogel
Sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. Drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. The use of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a newly found DCCA were found to be effective in the sol–gel synthesis of crack-free silica gel monolith fr...
متن کاملLuminiscent dye Rhodamine 6G doped monolithic and transparent TEOS silica xerogels and spectral properties
Sol–gel process was used for the preparation of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) doped silica xerogels, using tetraethylorthosilicate [TEOS, Si(OC2H5)4] as the precursor for the silica network. Silica alcosol was prepared by hydrolysis and polycondensation of ethanol (EtOH) diluted TEOS in the presence of citric acid (CTA) catalyst. The ethanolic R6G was added to the alcosol to trap R6G molecules inside the ...
