Abstract
This thesis investigates the morphology and polymorphism of TiO
A univariate particle model is implemented in a flame solver to simulate TiO
The morphology of TiO
The phase composition of the experimentally produced TiO
The sensitivity of phase composition to the flame dilution is investigated experimentally for stoichiometric flames. The results demonstrate a strong influence of the flame dilution on anatase-rutile stability. Different hypotheses to explain the origin of this sensitivity are evaluated using the stochastic population balance solver with a size-dependent transformation model. The analysis suggests that the nascent particle composition may play a more important role in the anatase-rutile stability than the particle size.
