Aggregation is a size enlargement mechanism which can be either desirable or inconvenient depending on the process involved. It involves the coming together or collision of two or more particles to form a larger single particle. It is a mechanism which is poorly understood and much research is still required before the intricacies of the process are fully grasped. Although it is known that aggregation is influenced by energy input (amongst other factors), the relationship between the two has previously been measured in anisotropic turbulent environments. Thus although aggregation is a function of local energy input, it has yet to be measured in environments where the local energy dissipation is well understood, or else it has been studied in low Reynolds number environments. This thesis aims to address this deficiency by studying the effect of local energy input on the aggregation rate in a well characterised environment of isotropic and homogenous turbulence. 2014-11-05T03:49:40Z 2014-11-05T03:49:40Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9130 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
