    Notes: Abstract Heat transfer to a copper particle immersed into an argon plasma is considered in this paper, including the effects of contamination of the plasma (transport coefficients) by copper vapor from the particle. Except for cases of high plasma temperatures, the vapor content in the plasma is shown to have a considerable influence on heat transfer to a nonevaporating particle, and, to a lesser extent, on heat transfer to an evaporating particle. Evaporation itself reduces heat transfer to a particle substantially as shown in a previous paper [Xi Chen and E. Pfender, Plasma Chem. Plasma Process.,2, 185 (1982)]. Comparisons of the calculated results with those based on a method suggested in the above reference show that the simplified assumptions employed, i.e., that the surface temperature is equal to the boiling point and that plasma properties based on a fixed composition are applicable, can be employed to simplify calculations for many cases. This study reveals that a considerable portion of a particle must be vaporized before a steady concentration distribution is established around the particle.

    Notes: Abstract A particle injected into a thermal plasma will experience a number of effects which are not present in an ordinary gas. In this paper effects exerted on the motion of a particle will be reviewed and analyzed in the context of thermal plasma processing of materials. The primary purpose of this paper is an assessment of the relative importance of various effects on particle motion. Computer experiments are described, simulating motion of a spherical particle in a laminar, confined plasma jet or in a turbulent, free plasma jet. Particle sizes range from 5 to 50 µm, and as sample materials alumina and tungsten are considered. The results indicate that (i) the correction term required for the viscous drag coefficient due to strongly varying properties is the most important factor; (ii) non-continuum effects are important for particle sizes 〈10 µm at atmospheric pressure and these effects will be enhanced for smaller particles and/or reduced pressures; (iii) the Basset history term is negligible, unless relatively large and light particles are considered over long processing distances; (iv) thermophoresis is not crucial for the injection of particles into thermal plasmas; (v) turbulent dispersion becomes important for particle 〈10 µm in diameter.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with a review of heat and mass transfer between thermal plasmas and particulate matter. In this situation various effects which are not present in ordinary heat and mass transfer have to be considered, including unsteady conditions, modified convective heat transfer due to strongly varying plasma properties, radiation, internal conduction, particle shape, vaporization and evaporation, noncontinuum conditions, and particle charging. The results indicate that (i) convective heat transfer coefficients have to be modified due to strongly varying plasma properties; (ii) vaporization, defined as a mass transfer process corresponding to particle surface temperatures below the boiling point, describes a different particle heating history than that of the evaporation process which, however, is not a critical control mechanism for interphase mass transfer of particles injected into thermal plasmas; (iii) particle heat transfer under noncontinuum conditions is governed by individual contributions from the species in the plasma (electrons, ions, neutral species) and by particle charging effects.

    Notes: Abstract The Knudsen effect on heat transfer to a particle exposed to a thermal plasma is important for many practical situations experienced in plasma chemistry and plasma processing. This paper provides theoretical results of this effect based on the “heat conduction potential jump” approach. It is shown that a correction factor which depends on the Knudsen number must be introduced into the expressions for heat fluxes obtained previously based on the continuum approach. The Knudsen effect is stronger for smaller particles and it is also more pronounced for an Ar-H2 plasma (compared to Ar and nitrogen plasmas at the same temperature). Since the Knudsen effect depends on the surface temperature of a particle, calculation of particle heating becomes more complicated.

    Notes: Abstract The generation and processing of fine powders in thermal plasmas has attracted increasing interest over the past years, precipitated by a growing awareness that conservation of materials is no longer an option but rather a necessity. Plasmaspheroidization, densification, fuming, metallurgical reduction, and the production of refractory oxides, carbides, nitrides, and borides in thermal plasmas are fast developing technologies which, in some cases, have already reached industrial production scale. In this survey, pertinent literature (198 references) will be reviewed with emphasis on basic studies in this field, reported over the past 20 years. The first part of this review covers powder handling, quenching characteristics, nucleation and growth, and modeling of plasma-particle interactions. The second part is concerned with plasma furnaces for the production of fine particles, including RF induction plasmas, DC anode furnaces, DC plasma jets, DC transferred arcs, cathode pump fed arcs, hybrid induction-DC plasmas, and three-phase AC furnaces.

    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with an analytical study of the heat and mass transfer process of a single particle exposed to a thermal plasma, with emphasis on the effects which evaporation imposes on heat transfer from the plasma to the particle. The results refer mainly to an atmospheric-pressure argon plasma and, for comparison purposes, an argon-hydrogen mixture and a nitrogen plasma are also considered in a temperature range from 3000 to 16,000 K. Interactions with water droplets, alumina, tungsten, and graphite particles are considered in a range of small Reynolds numbers typical for plasma processing of fine powders. Comparisons between exact solutions of the governing equations and approximate solutions indicate the parameter range for which approximate solutions are valid. The time required for complete evaporation of a given particle can be determined from calculated values of the vaporization constant. This constant is mainly determined by the boiling (or sublimation) temperature of the particles and the density of the condensed phase. Evaporation severely reduces heat transfer to a particle and, in general, this effect is more pronounced for materials with low latent heat of evaporation.
