Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

A simulation of the formation and growth of titanium dioxide particles in the working zone of a plasma-chemical reactor has been performed. The possibility of use of the premixing of reagents (titanium tetrachloride and oxygen) outside the reactor for increasing the yield of the final product was investigated. Calculations of the formation and growth of titanium dioxide particles were performed for different values of parameters of the physical and mathematical model of the process.
