Three-dimensional flow of solution in an industry-size hydrothermal autoclave subjected to non-uniform heating—effects of a baffle on flow and temperature …
Hydrothermal growth takes place in a closed cylindrical container called an autoclave.
Natural convection flow of an aqueous solution at a high temperature and a high pressure
carries the nutrient. The high temperature growth condition and the natural convection flow
are maintained by two independently controlled electrical heaters on the outside of the
autoclave. In practice, the heating is circumferentially non-uniform. Many theoretical and
numerical studies, however, assume axially symmetric heating conditions. This paper …
