Selection of Injection Conditions for Aluminum Particles as a Raw Material by Numerical Analysis in the Synthesis of Ultrafine Particles with Transferred Type Arc Plasma

We investigated by numerical analysis the dependence of vaporization behavior of aluminum particles injected into transferred type arc plasma on injection conditions in synthesis of aluminum nitride ultra fine particles. On the basis of calculation results, we chose one proper injection condition where aluminum particles vaporized more. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
