Abstract
Microgravity porous sphere/cylinder experiments were carried out to investigate flame synthesis processes in order to control particle morphology and composition, using the combustion of a mixture of TiCl4 and AlCl3 with Na as an example. Thermocouple measurements and thermotropic particle sampling were used to characterize the flame environment and particle history, respectively. Multicomponent Monte Carlo modelling was proven to be an excellent approach for combustion process and aerosol dynamics modelling. The effect of number of parcels on particle size distribution of coagulating aerosol, and the evolution of particle size distribution for a noncoagulation aerosol experiencing condensation with and without Kelvin effect are discussed.
