Abstract
AbstractDependence of energy exchange between plasma and soda‐lime‐silica glass particles on the particle size, powder feed‐rate and nozzle insertion length during in‐flight thermal treatment for glassification by induction thermal plasmas has been studied. For the numerical investigation into the plasma‐particle energy exchange dynamics during melting and vaporization of particles, a thermofluid plasma‐particle interaction model has been developed taking into account the strong plasma‐particle interactions and particle loading effects. It is found that heat transfer to the particles depends strongly on the particles' size, powder feed‐rate, nozzle insertion length, and plasma discharge parameters. Thus, for the efficient thermal treatment of particles, the above parameters should be optimized. © 2009 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
