Detailed Population Balance Modelling of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle Synthesis
This thesis develops and applies a new detailed population balance model to study the aerosol synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. It begins by exploring whether the morphological data captured by an existing detailed particle model can be used in a milling model to relate particle …

Stochastic modelling of the growth of carbonaceous materials
… aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), by applying a detailed particle model solved with a stochastic numerical method. In particular, a Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) algorithm is used to study the time-dependent transformations of PAHs in a reactive chemical environment, and thus the model is referred to …

Mean reaction rate closures for nanoparticle formation in turbulent reacting flow
… for turbulent reacting flow. The closures model the mean rate of reaction in the flow and are applied to simulations of nanoparticle formation. The simulations couple detailed chemical reaction, particle population dynamics and turbulent flow, and offer the potential to improve the …

Detailed population balance modelling of industrial titania synthesis
This thesis presents an efficient and robust detailed population balance framework for simulating aerosol synthesis of structured particles using a stochastic method. This is developed in the context of the industrial titania (TiO2) process to enable extensive numerical characterisation of the …

Simulations of Nanoparticle Synthesis in Laminar Stagnation Flames
… of a multidimensional solver for studying nanoparticle synthesis in laminar flames is presented. The governing equations are convective-diffusive-reactive partial differential equations that are discretised using the finite volume method. Detailed chemical source terms and transport …
