Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

The dispersion of oxidized Al nanoparticles into clusters by rapid heating in a shock wave has been studied. Cluster distribution characteristics were calculated as a function of the parameters of the initial nanoparticle distributions and the nature of the interaction of deformation waves with the nanoparticle shell and core. The studies were carried out using the author’s proposed resonance mechanism for the dispersion of the liquid core of a nanoparticle by the shock pulse from the destruction of the solid oxide shell. The ignition of Al nanoparticles after dispersion in air was analyzed using the previously described kinetic oxidation mechanism with the evaporation of clusters taken into account. Initial distributions of nanoparticles and their ignition times are validated against published experimental data.
