Numerical simulation of the interaction between the spherical particle and plasma gas is carried out. The aim of this study is to investigatethermal transfer between the plasma gas and solid particle during the plasma spray process and to validate the well-known empirical correlation of the Ranz and Marshall. In the conditions of molten or semi-molten states of prepared substrate, the medium (plasma jet) can affect the high velocities of particles. On the basis of direct numerical simulation, the computational analysis has been carried out by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of heat transfer in atmospheric pressure and mid-temperature range (3000k–12000k) of a plasma flow over a spherical particle. Our proposed model improves correlation with experiments compared to the existing approaches in the literature.

Water-repellent surfaces, often referred to as superhydrophobic surfaces, have found numerous potential applications in several industries. However, the synthesis of stable superhydrophobic surfaces through economical and practical processes remains a challenge. In the present work, we report on the development of an organosilicon-based superhydrophobic coating using an atmospheric-pressure plasma jet with an emphasis on precursor fragmentation dynamics as a function of power and precursor flow rate. The plasma jet is initially modified with a quartz tube to limit the diffusion of oxygen from the ambient air into the discharge zone. Then, superhydrophobic coatings are developed on a pre-treated microporous aluminum-6061 substrate through plasma polymerization of HMDSO in the confined atmospheric pressure plasma jet operating in nitrogen plasma. All surfaces presented here are superhydrophobic with a static contact angle higher than 150° and contact angle hysteresis lower than 6°. It is shown that increasing the plasma power leads to a higher oxide content in the coating, which can be correlated to higher precursor fragmentation, thus reducing the hydrophobic behavior of the surface. Furthermore, increasing the precursor flow rate led to higher deposition and lower precursor fragmentation, leading to a more organic coating compared to other cases.
