The temperature histories of zircon grains were calculated based on this model. Comparisons were carried out to determine the effects of plasma gas (N_2 and Ar), free stream temperature (6000-15000K) and Reynolds number (0.0-1.0) as well as particle diameter (20-200μm) on the zircon dissociation process. The influences of proper Nusselt number correlation and variable transport properties were discussed in detail.展开更多
