This research is a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of aerosol reactors for synthesis of high quality powders for ceramic applications. The powders to be studied are silicon nitride and various metal oxides. Size distributions of the powders produced will be measured as a function of gas composition, temperature, residence time, and other relevant variables. Powders will be characterized as to chemical composition and crystallinity by atomic absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The suitability of the powders for ceramic application will be evaluated in an ongoing study at another institution. The reactor will be modeled accounting for particle nucleation, particle growth by condensation and coagulation, and aggregate shape change by sintering. Aerosol reactors offer exciting processes for producing powders of unique properties for use in ceramic, optical, electrical, or catalytic applications. This research should help in the design and optimization of such reactors.

这项研究是气溶胶反应堆合成高质量粉末用于陶瓷应用的合并实验和理论研究。 要研究的粉末是氮化硅和各种金属氧化物。 产生的粉末的大小分布将根据气体成分，温度，停留时间和其他相关变量的函数进行测量。 粉末将通过原子吸收光谱和X射线衍射来表征化学组成和结晶度。 粉末对陶瓷应用的适用性将在另一家机构正在进行的研究中进行评估。 将对反应器进行建模，以考虑颗粒成核，凝结和凝结的颗粒生长以及通过烧结而变化的骨料变化。 气溶胶反应堆提供令人兴奋的过程，用于生产独特特性的粉末，用于陶瓷，光学，电气或催化应用。 这项研究应有助于此类反应堆的设计和优化。
