Abstract

Vapor-phase synthesis of nano-structured materials is a cost-effective and controllable means for the production of wide variety of materials, including those used in fuel cells, energetic materials, and chemical sensors. A computational approach that provides knowledge of particle field in a model free manner, as a function of space, time, and size is presented. The effects of mixing on nanoparticle area during flame synthesis, the segregation of nanoparticles in turbulent jets, and the effects of turbulence on the growth of nanoparticles are described. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Annual Meeting and Fall Showcase (Cincinnati, OH 10/30/2005-11/4/2005).
