  • homogeneous nucleation rate measurements of 1 butanol in helium a comparative study of a thermal diffusion cloud chamber and a Laminar Flow diffusion chamber
    Journal of Chemical Physics, 2005
    Co-Authors: David Brus, Vladimír Ždímal, A P Hyvarinen, Heikki Lihavainen
    Abstract:

    Isothermal homogeneous nucleation rates of 1-butanol were measured both in a thermal diffusion cloud chamber and in a Laminar Flow diffusion chamber built recently at the Institute of Chemical Process Fundamentals, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague, Czech Republic. The chosen system 1-butanol-helium can be studied reasonably well in both devices, in the overlapping range of temperatures. The results were compared with those found in the literature and those measured by Lihavainen in a Laminar Flow diffusion chamber of a similar design. The same isotherms measured with the thermal diffusion cloud chamber occur at highest saturation ratios of the three devices. Isotherms measured with the two Laminar Flow diffusion chambers are reasonably close together; the measurements by Lihavainen occur at lowest saturation ratios. The temperature dependences observed were similar in all three devices. The molecular content of critical clusters was calculated using the nucleation theorem and compared wit...

Isotherms measured with the two Laminar Flow diffusion chambers are reasonably close together; the measurements by Lihavainen occur at lowest saturation ratios. The temperature dependences observed were similar in all three devices. The molecular content of critical clusters was calculated using the nucleation theorem and compared with the Kelvin equation. Both Laminar Flow diffusion chambers provided very similar sizes slightly above the Kelvin equation, whereas the thermal diffusion cloud chamber suggests critical cluster sizes significantly smaller. The results found elsewhere in the literature were in reasonable agreement with our results.

  • homogeneous nucleation of n pentanol in a Laminar Flow diffusion chamber
    NUCLEATION AND ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOLS 2000: 15th International Conference, 2001
    Co-Authors: Heikki Lihavainen, Y Viisanen, Markku Kulmala
    Abstract:

    As a contribution to the Joint Experiment on Homogenous Nucleation, a version of a Laminar Flow diffusion chamber was developed for nucleation rate measurements. The design and operational characteristics of the chamber will be presented. Homogenous nucleation rates of n-pentanol were measured as a function of saturation ratio in the temperature range between 260 K and 290 K. The results were compared to the classical nucleation theory. The experimental results were three orders of magnitudes higher than the theoretical predictions. The difference was almost constant over the whole temperature range. The results were compared with results from other experimental devices, they were in good agreement at lower temperatures.

  • Homogenous nucleation of n-butanol in Laminar Flow diffusion chamber
    Journal of Aerosol Science, 2000
    Co-Authors: Heikki Lihavainen, Y Viisanen
    Abstract:

    In this study Laminar Flow diffusion chamber was developed to measure homogeneous nucleation rates as a function of saturation and temperature. n-Butanol was chosen for nucleating vapor because its thermodynamic properties are well known.

  • a Laminar Flow diffusion chamber for homogeneous nucleation studies
    Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2001
    Co-Authors: Y Viisanen
    Abstract:

    A new version of Laminar Flow diffusion chamber was developed for unary homogeneous nucleation from vapor to liquid studies. The developed Laminar Flow diffusion chamber can quantitatively measure nucleation rates as a function of saturation ratio and temperature. A numerical model was developed for calculations of temperature and saturation ratio profiles inside the Laminar Flow diffusion chamber. Several experiments were made to ensure the proper and reliable operation of the device and the numerical model. Nucleation rates of n-hexanol were measured using helium as a carrier gas from 265.0 to 295.0 K. The measured nucleation rate range was from 103 to 107 cm-3 s-1. Temperature and saturation ratio dependencies were compared to the classical nucleation theory. The saturation ratio dependency was well predicted by the theory. Results were compared to the measurements made by others. They were in reasonable agreement at the lower end of the temperature range of this study. The carrier gas effect was also ...
