The energy and mass transfer in the usual model take into account heat transfer from plasma by conduction and convection on the surface of the particle, radiation effect, melting, heating of vapor cloud and vaporization. So that heat and mass balance give us the possibility of modeling these processes. However exothermic reactions are able to appear between oxygen atoms and silicon which give SiO gas and strong enthalpy effect.
These mechanisms of chemical reactions between the air plasma and the silicon particles depend mainly of the plasma temperature and of the gas flow velocity. We propose to discuss the main results of this model in order to take into account the chemical mechanisms which appear on the surface plasma−powder. %8 2007-11-26
