Abstract

A numerical model has been developed to simulate the desolvation and coalescence rates and number densities of sample droplets directly injected into an argon inductively coupled plasma. Specific droplet processes considered include transport, heating, desolvation, and coalescence. The droplet-droplet interactions are computed with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The simulation is used to predict spatial maps of droplet number and mass densities within an argon ICP. An investigation into the overall importance of coalescence in various spray processes is also conducted.
