Abstract
The flame spray method for preparing spherical powders is a technique in which solid particles are forced to fuse into spheres by exposing them directly to the combustion flame, and has already been applied to producing ceramic (metal) spherical powders. With this technique, it is critical to analyze quantitatively the fusing and sphering characteristics of solid particles, and thus the distributions of gas velocity and temperature of the flame gas have to be calculated first. However, little research has been conducted regarding this subject. In this study, a combustion model is formulated to calculate the profiles of gas velocity and temperature for the fuel gas flame jetted from the commonly used coaxial double-pipe nozzle. The calculation agrees roughly with the flame shape observed in experiments, implying the possibility of using this model to calculate the heat transfer from flame gas to solid powders. © 1997 Scripta Technica, Inc.
