A new Monte Carlo method termed Comb-like frame Monte Carlo is developed to simulate the soot dynamics. Detailed stochastic error analysis is provided. Comb-like frame Monte Carlo is coupled with the gas phase solver Chemkin II to simulate soot formation in a 1-D premixed burner stabilized flame. The simulated soot number density, volume fraction, and particle size distribution all agree well with the measurement available in literature. The origin of the bimodal distribution of particle size distribution is revealed with quantitative proof.

Petch Relation

The Hall-Petch relation in a spheroidized steel with bimodal cementite particle size distribution has been investigated in this study, with an emphasis on considering the effect of the large particles at ferrite grain boundaries and triple junctions. A medium carbon steel was processed by variable thermomechanical procedures to achieve spheroidized structures with different combinations of microstructrual parameters, but all exhibiting a bimodal particle size distribution, in which large intergranular particles and small intragranular particles coexisted in the ferrite matrix. A quantitative relationship between the Hall-Petch parameter ky and the volume fraction of the intergranular cementite particles is presented, by considering a composite model. The contribution of the large intergranular particles to grain boundary strengthening wa substantiated by the increment of the ky parameter, since the average orientation factor of the composite, is increased. After correction of the ky parameters based on the constants from literatures, the predicted stresses show good agreement with the experimental stresses. A linear fit between the experimental stresses and the reciprocal square root of grain sizes is performed, the slope constant ky derived agrees to within 11 % of the corrected ky parameters based on the constants from literatures.

The dynamics of phase coarsening at ultra-high volume fractions is studied based on two-dimensional phase-field simulations by numerically solving the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau and Cahn-Hilliard equations. The kinetics of phase coarsening at ultra-high volume fractions is discovered. The microstructural evolutions for different ultra-high volume fractions are shown. The scaled particle size distribution as functions of the dispersoid volume fraction is presented. The particle size distribution derived from our simulation at ultra-high volume fractions is close to Wagner's particle size distribution due to interface-controlled ripening rather than Hillert's grain size distribution in grain growth. The changes of shapes of particles are carefully studied with increase of volume fraction. It is found that more liquid-filled triple junctions are formed as a result of particle shape accommodation with increase of volume fraction at the regime of ultra-high volume fraction.

Generalized Kinetic Model

Polydisperse suspensions with particles of a finite number N of size classes have been widely studied in laboratory experiments. However, in most real-world applications the particle sizes are distributed continuously. In this paper, a well-studied one-dimensional kinematic model for batch sedimentation of polydisperse suspensions of small equal-density spheres is extended to suspensions with a continuous particle size distribution. For this purpose, the phase density function Φ = Φ(t, x, ξ), where ξ ∈ [0, 1] is the normalized squared size of the particles, is introduced, whose integral with respect to ξ on an interval [ξ1, ξ2] is equivalent to the volume fraction at (t, x) occupied by particles of that size range. Combining the Masliyah–Lockett–Bassoon (MLB) model for the solid-fluid relative velocity for each solids species with the concept of phase density function yields a scalar, first-order equation for Φ, namely the equation of the generalized kinetic theory. Three numerical schemes for the solution of this equation are introduced, and a numerical example and an L1 error study show that one of these schemes introduces less numerical diffusion and less spurious oscillations near discontinuities than the others. Several numerical examples illustrate the simulated behavior of this kind of suspensions. Numerical results also illustrate the solution of an eigenvalue problem associated with the equation of the generalized kinetic theory.

Abstract In present work the influence of particle size distribution on the dilatant effect of shear thickening fluid was investigated. As a ceramic powder a mixture of silicas 200 and 7 nm in ratio 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, 80:20, 75:25, 50:50 was used. A dispersing agent was poly (propylene glycol) of a molecular weight of 425 g/mol. The as prepared slurries were examined on a rotational rheometer Kinexus Pro with a plate-plate measuring system at room temperature, where the viscosity as a function of shear rate was investigated. The measurement showed that by partially replacing greater particle size by smaller one, it is possible to shift the onset of shear thickening to the higher value of shear rate, however, the decreases of dilatant effect is observed. The influence of particle size distribution on a maximum volume fraction also was investigated. The maximum volume fraction which was passible to obtain was 35 vol%.
