In-cell method

Approaches used to model ozone formation include box, gradient transfer, and trajectoty methods. Another method, the particle-in-cell method, advects centers of mass (that have a specific mass assigned) with an effective velocity that includes both transport and dispersion over each time step. Chemistry is calculated using the total mass within each grid cell at the end of each time step. This method has the advantage of avoiding both the numerical diffusion of some gradient transfer methods and the distortion due to wind shear of some trajectory methods. 

The oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde (max. yield 98.8%) can be performed in a Ce(Cl04)3-HCl04-(Pt/Ti-Cu) system by using the in-cell method in an undivided cell [28]. Indirect electrooxidations of organic compounds with Ce(IV) are listed in Table 12 [221-230]. For the electrogeneration of Ce(IV), platinized titanium or platinum oxide-on-titanium electrodes are known to be suitable for continuous oxidation of Ce(III) in perchloric acid.

Fixed Coordinate Approaches. In the fixed coordinate approach to airshed modeling, the airshed is divided into a three-dimensional grid for the numerical solution of some form of (7), the specific form depending upon the simplifying assumptions made. We classify the general methods for solution of the continuity equations by conventional finite difference methods, particle in cell methods, and variational methods. Finite difference methods and particle in cell methods are discussed here. Variational methods involve assuming the form of the concentration distribution, usually in terms of an expansion of known functions, and evaluating coeflBcients in the expansion. There is currently active interest in the application of these techniques (23) however, they are not yet suflBciently well developed that they may be applied to the solution of three-dimensional time-dependent partial differential equations, such as (7). For this reason we will not discuss these methods here. 

Particle in Cell Methods. An alternative to the direct finite-diflFerence solution of (7) is the so-called particle in cell (PIC) technique. The distinguishing feature of the PIC technique is that the continuous concentration field is treated as a collection of mass points, each representing a given amount of pollutant and each located at the center of mass of the volume of material it represents. The mass points, or particles, are moved by advection and diffusion. It is convenient but not necessary, to have each of the particles of a given contaminant represent the same mass of material. The application of the PIC technique in hydrodynamic calculations is discussed by Harlow (32). Here we consider the use of the PIC technique in the numerical solution of (7). 

Sub-models for the particle motion, heat transfer, and combustion are used in the framework of a Lagrangian approach. During its flight the particle interacts with the gas phase flow field producing source terms which are implemented using the particle source in cell method (PSIC), in the momentum, enthalpy and mass equations [10, 11]. The particle-particle interactions are neglected since the particle phase is dilute in the furnace studied here. 

Another technique, widely used in a different context (kinetic theory, plasma simulation) is the so-called Vortex-in-Cell Method (Hockney and Eastwood 1981, Birdsall and Langdon 1985). In the Vortex-in-Cell Method a two-dimensional computational domain is divided into cells and the vorticity is counted in each cell. The Poisson equation relating the vorticity and the Laplacian of the stream function is subsequently solved on the grid by an FTT algorithm, the velocity...

Sample drying can be accomplished in several ways such as air drying and oven drying before extraction. Flowever, these approaches are not suited when analysing volatile or seml-volatlle components as they would be removed from the sample before extraction or analysis. The In-cell method can remove moisture when the wet sample Is mixed with a water absorbing polymer (Ullah et al 2012).
