This project is a combined experimental and modelling study of                  nucleation and growth of fine powders in thermal plasma reactors.  The          modelling will include such phenomena as reactor chemistry, particle            growth by condensation, particle growth by coagulation, and reactor             nonuniformities.  It should result in a computer code coupling the              thermal hydraulics in a RF plasma reactor to these aerosol processes.           The model will be guided and tested by an experimental program in               which size distributions of the particles are measured for several              species of technical importance as functions of flow rate,                      concentration, and power input.                                                                                                                                 Thermal plasma reactors are attractive candidates for the production            of fine powders to be used in ceramics, metallic alloys, and high               temperature superconductors.  This research should help design such             reactors to control particle size, composition, and morphology.
