Detailed Numerical Simulation of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Synthesis in a Radio-Frequency Induction Thermal Plasma System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2D axisymmetric numerical calculations are conducted to model the thermo-fluid fields and chemical reactions leading to the formation of SWCNTs in an RF plasma system. A modified version of the SWCNT "reduced" chemical model is used to estimate the formation of SWCNT in an RF plasma system for the first time. The "reduced" model incorporates 14 species and 36 chemical reactions to predict the formation of metal and carbon clusters and SWCNTs. By combing the chemistry model into the RF plasma CFD code, the formation and development of carbon and metal catalyst clusters and their reactions which produce SWCNTs are shown. The chemistry model is shown to under-predict the yield rate of SWCNT. In order to better predict the yield rate, a sensitivity analysis is performed to modify the dominant reaction rates. The modified model predicts the yield of SWCNTs correctly within the range reported experimentally. However, more studies should be conducted to validate the accuracy of the model for different operating conditions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
