he structurally related viscosity model proposed in our previous studies has been extended to TÍO2 bearing melts. Experimental data on different systems containing CaO, MgO, AI2O3, TÍO2 and SÍO2 were assessed, and good agreement was achieved between the calculated and measured viscosities. It can be concluded that the addition of TÍO2 results in a decrease in viscosity, which is consistent with the experimental findings.
Kinetic equation of oxidation process with diffusion controlled step in solid product layer is deduced, in which the influence of particle size distribution of b-SiAlON on the reaction rate has been taken into account. This equation was applied to the oxidation of b-SiAlON powder, and fitted well with the experimental data. Comparisons with the results offered by the model using one and two effective radiuses are also included, from which it can be seen that the model considering particle size distribution is the best for describing the kinetics of powder system. The activation energy DE of oxidation of b-SiAlON powder is also obtained, which is 258 kJ mol 21 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
