Effects of thermophoresis on Brownian coagulation of spherical particles over the entire particle size regime

Listed in ScienceDB

In many energy and combustion applications, particles experience large temperature gradients, which can affect the coagulation process due to thermophoresis.

Description

This study presents a rigorous theory of thermophoretically modified Brownian coagulation in the entire particle size regime. The theoretical derivations are based on the kinetic theory for the free-molecular regime and the harmonic mean method for the transition regime.

The coagulation kernels in different size regimes can be expressed as the basic Brownian coagulation kernel times an enhancement factor. The enhancement factor represents the coagulation rate enhancement induced by thermophoresis and is a function of specific dimensionless numbers. Based on the enhancement factor, the thermophoretic enhancement effects on particle coagulation are further analyzed under a wide range of gas and particle conditions.

The results show that thermophoretic enhancement effects are ignorable in the free-molecular regime, but need to be considered in the continuum regime and the transition regime. In addition, the enhancement effects increase significantly with increase of gas temperature and temperature gradient while decrease with increase of gas pressure. The present study can improve understanding of thermophoretic effects on Brownian coagulation in the entire size regime and provide a useful tool to calculate the coagulation rates in presence of thermophoresis.
