Particle dynamics in the NIZJ-HCI-N&CI particle system are modeled for particle growth times exceeding the induction time for the initial appearance of particles. The model results of Dahlin et al. at 2% K are confirmed, and the appropriate micmscopic surface free energy is found to he practically independent of reactant concentrations over small concentration ranges at 296 K. Over larger concentration ranges, the value of the surface free energy required to explain the data varies appreciably, increasing as initial reactant concentration increases. At relatively long particle growth times, diffusional growth together with coagulation adequately describes the experimental data, although the coagulation coefficient must he increased over the Brownian value to account for other effects. Possible mechanisms such as cluster scavenging, charge-induced coagulation, particle evaporation, and W C I vapor formation on reactor walls apparently do not affect the model predictions even at small particle growth times.
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.
