Real systems such as sooting flames, however, involve poly-disperse primary particle distributions. Also, systems with multiple components, where primary particles are of distinct but different sizes, cannot be treated as mono-disperse. Here, we introduce bi-disperse primary particle distributions and use Langevin dynamics simulations to develop closures for the collision kernels that are applicable over a wide range of agglomerate characteristics. The simulations cover fractal dimensions from 1.4 to 2.2, primary particle diameters from 5 nm to 50 nm, primary particle size ratios from 2 to 10 and agglomerates of up to a size of 200 primary particles with varying particle compositions. The Langevin dynamics simulations cover all collision regimes from ballistic to diffusive and allow to deduce expressions for the respective collision diameters, the hydrodynamic radii and the projected area as functions of particle characteristics. It is shown that existing expressions for the transition regime that were developed for the modelling of the collision kernel of spherical particles continue to hold for collision kernels of agglomerates in two-component systems under the condition that the collision diameters and drag coefficients are modelled accurately. An example ‘a posteriori’ simulation for a particle size ratio of 6 uses the population balance equation and demonstrates that bi-variate kernels are needed for the accurate prediction of the growth rates. Errors in predicted number density at the end of the simulations are less than 12 % while mono-variate kernels developed for mono-disperse primary particle systems overpredict the growth rate by 46%.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 106480"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142577827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vapor wall losses (VWL), estimated using a kinetic method, were substantial even with the elevated aerosol surface area provided by SIA. Additional photochemical reactions in the OFR showed a gradual increase in SOA mass and yield over an atmospheric equivalent aging time of 0.5–4.0 days. In the OFR, the SOA yield increased significantly when negligible xylene remained after SC reactions. Fresh SOA formation in the OFR might have decreased the oxygen-to-carbon ratio and oxidation state of carbon, which gradually increased with increasing OFR aging. High OH radical exposure in the OFR likely caused the photodegradation of SC-formed ON, as evidenced by an abrupt decrease in the NO<sup>+</sup>/NO<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> ratio measured.

However, from a defense-in-depth perspective, the study of CDA sequences is still worthwhile to assure the safety and reliability of reactors. During a CDA, a large bubble rapidly expands inside the sodium pool, rises from the core, and covers the gas region, providing a potential migration path for source terms (radioactive materials present within the containment barriers). Source terms released initially within the cover-gas region after a few hundred milliseconds are called instantaneous source terms. We propose here an instantaneous source-term migration model that provides a simplified evaluation of the amount of source terms absorbed by coolant sodium during the ascent of the CDA bubble. In the model, the particle motion within the CDA bubble obtained from the basic momentum equation is used to calculate the amount of source terms escaping from the bubble interface. In addition, a model analogous to aerosol scavenging by precipitation is used to assess the amount of source terms absorbed by droplets present in the bubble, especially the entrained sodium droplets that form during rapid expansion of the CDA bubble. The model is further validated by a previous source term migration experiment in which a large high-pressure bubble expands and rises in a sodium pool. Good agreement with the measured retention factor of a source term demonstrates the reliability of the developed model.

However, existing PM<sub>1</sub> sampling instruments remain to be improved mainly because their PM<sub>1</sub> inlets have particle loading and bounce issues. To address these challenges, PM<sub>1</sub> inlets based on the Non-Bouncing Impactor (NBI) technique were developed. These inlets employ vacuum oil-wetted glass fiber filter (GFF) substrates to eliminate particle bounce and incorporate a daily vacuum oil injection to prevent particle loading. The 16.7 L/min PM<sub>1</sub> NBI, modified from the PM<sub>2.5</sub> M-WINS design with a reduced diameter of the single nozzle, was designed to adapt readily with current standard sampling and monitoring systems. The cut-size (D<sub>pa50</sub>) of 0.99 ± 0.02 μm was determined by considering the effects of Reynold number and the ratio of jet-to-plate distance and nozzle diameter. Field tests comparing the 16.7 L/min PM<sub>1</sub> NBI sampler to the 9-stage NCTU Micro-orifice Cascade Impactor (NMCI<sub>9</sub>) revealed small sampling biases, with a mean difference of +0.26 ± 2.28 μg/m<sup>3</sup> for PM<sub>1</sub> measurements when silicone oil-coated aluminum foil (AF) and GFF-AF were used in the NMCI<sub>9</sub>. The NBI with the oil-wetted GFF substrate effectively removed particles larger than 1.0 μm, resulting in more accurate PM<sub>1</sub> mass concentration measurements. Additionally, the development of a 5-stage NMCI with the 30 L/min PM<sub>1</sub> NBI as the first stage enabled detailed measurement of PM<sub>1</sub> mass distribution in two modes, which was challenging when measuring the entire mass distribution of ambient aerosols. The distribution of size-dependent water-soluble inorganic ions in PM<sub>1</sub> showed dominance of SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> and NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup> in PM<sub>1</sub> compared to PM<sub>2.5</sub>.

The unique feature of the burner investigated here is the ability to control flame stability over newly defined stability maps. The novelty of the current work lies in understanding the influence of these broad stability modes on nanoparticle growth during FSP and on the attributes of collected products. Several distinct flame configurations are selected for iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis, ranging from stable to highly unstable flames. The flame stability regimes are characterised by OH∗ chemiluminescence and broadband flame luminescence imaging. Stability is correlated with the coefficient of variation of flame luminescence (CV) and flame height with mean OH∗ chemiluminescence. Planar Mie scattering is then used to identify the effect of flame luminescence intermittency on spray atomisation and evaporation quality. For particle analysis, in-situ thermophoretic sampling is performed from 30 to 200 mm above the burner exit plane and analysed via transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Further ex-situ analysis is also performed on the bulk-collected product via high-resolution TEM, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). It is demonstrated that flames with higher instability (CV<sub>min</sub> ≥ 0.35) maintain increased spray heights (&gt;26 %) and reduced flame heights (&gt;79 %) compared to stable flames with the same precursor volume flowrate. This reduces the high-temperature particle residence time for primary particle growth and impacts subsequent agglomeration. For example, the mean diameter of gyration and primary particle diameter are found to vary by 44 % and 29 % depending on the flame regime, respectively. Ex-situ analysis also demonstrates that the dominant iron oxide phase produced is maghemite regardless of the stability regime. However, higher concentrations of organic impurities including methyl, methylene and carboxylate functional groups are found via ATR-FTIR with increased flame instability (CV).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14880,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aerosol Science","volume":"183 ","pages":"Article 106475"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
