Abstract

The vapor condensation on nanoparticles in a supersaturated gaseous mixture is considered. Supersaturation was created by mixing two flows with different temperatures in a cylindrical mixer at atmospheric pressure. The conditions for mixing were chosen such that the homogeneous nucleation of vapor did not mask the growth of heterogeneous droplets with nanoparticles inside. A mathematical model of the growth of heterogeneous droplets was developed at one-dimensional description of the mixer. Five parameters that affect the performance of the particles size magnifier were identified: temperature of the saturator and the flow with nanoparticles, the number density and initial radius of the nanoparticles, and ratio of flow rates. The results of the simulation are compared with our experimental data.
