title = "Computational fluid dynamics modeling of a laser-driven aerosol reactor",
abstract = "A detailed 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (3D CFD) model of a laser-driven (photothermal) reactor system used in our laboratory to produce nanoparticles of silicon and other materials is presented. This model includes detailed descriptions of the fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, and chemical reactions leading to silane decomposition in the gas phase. Eight chemical reactions and eight chemical species were included in the reacting flow simulation. The overall characteristics of the photothermal reactor system were captured. Temperature and velocity profiles along the axis of the reactor were extracted from the simulations and used with a simple 1D aerosol dynamics model to predict particle size, concentration and size distribution. copyright The Electrochemical Society.",
