A quantitative understa nding of the dynamic behavior and growth kinetics of the nucleated second phase during solidification is necessary to produce homogeneous dispersion in solidifi ed composites. This paper presents a mathematical model for describing the grow th of nucleated dispersed phase in the two-liquid phase region ahead of the sol idification front and the entrapment of these droplets by the moving solid-liqu id interface in vertical unidirectional solidification systems. The model has t wo components. A macro-heat transfer model for describing the temperature prof iles and the rate of advance of the solidification front. The dynamic behavior and coalescence and growth of nucleated droplets in the two-liquid phase region under the influence of effective gravity and thermocapillary forces were repres ented through the solution the droplet momentum and mass conservation equations in particle space. These two components of the models were coupled through a sp ecial algorithm for tracking the particle location and size with respect to movi ng solidification front in the solidification time scale. The model is used to study the particle size distribution in unidirectional solidified Zn-Bi hypermo notectic alloys at reduced gravity conditions. It has been found that the parti cle size and distribution in the solidified alloy depends on solidification rate and the ratio of effective gravity to thermocapillary forces. It was also foun d that uniform dispersion could only be obtained in a very narrow range of effec tive gravity values near zero gravity. The model predictions were compared agai nst experimental measurements obtained at different effective gravity conditions in a novel unidirectional solidification apparatus that uses electromagnetic fo rces to modulate gravitational forces. The model was found to reasonably predic t the experimentally measured particle size and distribution over the entire ran ge of effective gravity investigated as well as gravity conditions for settling and flotation of the second phase during solidification. The practical signific ance of these findings will be discussed.展开更多

Moreover, it affects the critical liquid carrying rate. The pressure difference prediction model must be determined, because of the existing one lacking theoretical basis. Based on the droplet surface pressure distribution in high velocity gas streams, a new model is established to predict the average differential pressure of droplets. Compared with the new differential pressure prediction results, the existing pressure difference prediction results were overvalued by 46.0%. This article also improves four gas-well critical liquid carrying models using the proposed pressure difference prediction model, and compares with the original one. The result indicates that the critical velocity of the original models is undervalued by 10% or so, due to the overestimate to the pressuredifference. In addition, comparisons of the improved model with original models show that it is necessary to consider the adaptability, because the models have significant differences in results, and different suitability for different well conditions.展开更多

In the dynamic process of mass transfer, they are always neglected, but they are very important in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. In this paper, the effect of water droplet in solvent sublation was discussed in detail, and the previous mathematical model of solvent subaltion was improved. Matlab 6.5 was used to simulate the process of water droplets, and the comparison between the previous hypothesis and the improvement in this paper showed the superiority, especially in the investigation of thermodynamic equilibrium. Moreover, the separation and concentration of the complex compound dithizone-Co（Ⅱ） from aqueous phase to n-octanol by solvent sublation also proved the improved mathematical model was reasonable.展开更多

The two-phase interparticle potential model is employed. The model is found to possess a linear relation between the macroscopic properties （ surface tension σ and contact angle α） and microscopic parameters （ G, G, ）. The flow state of the droplet on the surface is analyzed in detail, and the effects of surface characteristic, impact velocity, impact angle, the viscosity and surface tension of the liquid are investigated, respectively. It is shown that the lattice-Bohzmann method can not only track exactly and automatically the interface, but also the simulation results have a good qualitative agreement with ones of the previous experimental and numerical studies.展开更多
