Abstract

The production of nanoscaled particulate products with exactly pre-defined characteristics is of enormous economic relevance. Although there are different particle formation routes they may all be described by one class of equations. Therefore, simulating such processes comprises the solution of nonlinear, hyperbolic integro-partial differential equations. In our project we aim to study this class of equations in order to develop efficient tools for the identification of optimal process conditions to achieve desired product properties. This objective is approached by a joint effort of the mathematics and the engineering faculty. Two model-processes are chosen for this study, namely a precipitation process and an innovative aerosol process allowing for a precise control of residence time and temperature. Since the overall problem is far too complex to be solved directly a hierarchical sequence of simplified problems has been derived which are solved consecutively. In particular, the simulation results are finally subject to comparison with experiments.
