The origin of particle size-induced near-infrared (NIR) spectral variation, which is fundamental for robust quantitative analysis, was systematically studied in conjunction with Monte Carlo simulation.

A method for the Monte Carlo simulation, by digital computer, of the evolution of a colliding and coagulating population of suspended particles is described. Collision mechanisms studied both separately and in combination are: Brownian motion of the particles, and laminar and isotropic turbulent shearing motions of the suspending fluid. Steady-state distributions are obtained by adding unit-size particles at a constant rate and removing all particles once they reach a preset maximum volume. The resulting size distributions are found to agree with those obtained by dimensional analysis (Hunt 1982).

Hunt (1982) and Friedlander (1960a, b) used dimensional analysis to derive expressions for the steady-state particle-size distribution in aerosols and hydrosols. Their results were supported by the Monte Carlo simulation of a non-interacting coagulating population of suspended spherical particles developed by Pearson, Valioulis & List (1984). Here the realism of the Monte Carlo simulation is improved by accounting for the modification to the coagulation rate caused by van der Waals', electrostatic and hydrodynamic forces acting between particles. The results indicate that the major hypothesis underlying the dimensional reasoning, that is, collisions between particles of similar size are most important in determining the shape of the particle size distribution, is valid only for shear-induced coagulation. It is shown that dimensional analysis cannot, in general, be used to predict equilibrium particle-size distributions, mainly because of the strong dependence of the interparticle force on the absolute and relative size of the interacting particles.

In a previous publication, we compared measurements of the x-ray microfluorescence of calcium and iron from homogeneous spherical glass particles with the results of Monte Carlo simulation. That work was performed to verify a Monte Carlo model developed for the characterization of particle size effects using a polished flat sample of the same composition as a reference standard. The present work extends our comparison to synthetic glass particles containing elements of higher atomic number. We also modified our Monte Carlo model to include simulation of x-ray fluorescence from elements in irregular shaped synthetic particles. In addition, the Compton scattering from spherical and irregular shaped particles was simulated using Monte Carlo and compared with experimental measurements.

2D Potts model Monte Carlo simulation was carried out on a square lattice to investigate the effects of varying the size of second phase particles on the Zener limit of grain growth, in two-phase polycrystals. Simulations were carried out on a 1000^2 size matrix with Q-state of 64, dispersed with second phase particles of various sizes and surface fractions, and run to stagnation. Different grain growth parameters such as mean grain size, largest grain size, fraction of second phase particles lying on grain boundaries, etc., were computed for the pinned microstructures. The pinned average grain size or the Zener limit increased with increase in particle size, as per the classic Smith-Zener equation. The Zener limit scaled inversely with the square root of the particle fraction for all particle sizes, while it scaled exponentially with the fraction of second phase particles lying on the grain boundaries (ϕ), for all particle sizes tested.
