Abstract
We analyze the properties of diffusion-limited coagulation and associated energy release applicable to processes such as nanocarbon production in detonation or nanoaerosols growth. We introduce a physical model that yields the expected energy release by treating the aggregation kinetics as a quasi phase transformation with a nonlinear rate dependent on the size of the initial nuclei, thermodynamic conditions, and viscosity of the fluid matrix.
