- The Knudsen effect on mass transfer between a plasma gas and a small particle is investigated. A predictive model is developed by incorporating the Z-potential approach into the jump theory. The predictions of the model are explored through a case study. The results indicate that the Knudsen effect is significant and depends strongly on the particle size and the surface conditions. The plasma and the particle surface temperatures are also found to be determining factors. Under certain conditions, it is observed that the Knudsen effect can enhance the plasma-particle mass transfer, contrary to the predictions of the previous near-isothermal models. © 1986 Plenum Publishing Corporation.

- A simple analytical method is proposed for particle-gas mass transfer calculations under plasma conditions. This method, called the Z-potential method, fully accounts for the temperature variation of the gas transport properties while permitting use of the convenient isothermal expression Sh = 2.0. The Z-potential approach is also found to be extremely useful in ascertaining the Knudsen discontinuum effect on mass transfer between the plasma gas and a small particle. A predictive model for the Knudsen effect, developed by combining the Z-potential approach with the jump theory, is illustrated in detail by means of a case study on a nitrogen plasma system. © 1986.

- A new integral mean diffusivity is proposed for the calculation of the mass transfer rate around a small particle immersed in a thermal plasma gas. Analogous to the integral mean thermal conductivity widely used for the corresponding heat transfer calculations, the integral mean diffusivity greatly facilitates the use of the convenient isothermal correlation, Sh=2.0, for the gas-particle mass transfer calculations. The calculation method accounts for both ordinary molecular diffusion and thermal diffusion. The latter has been found to play a significant role under thermal plasma conditions. The use of the integral mean diffusivity is illustrated with an example calculation on an Ar-He plasma system. © 1985 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
