This work addresses the question of how to prepare stable CTP sols. Their rheological properties as a function of process parameters like solid loading and water content are investigated. It was found that an increased solid loading as well as an increased water content lead to an increased initial viscosity as well as a more pronounced ageing induced viscosity rise. In addition, the thermal behavior of the resulting xerogels was analyzed. Furthermore, we studied the ion release behavior of the xerogels when brought in contact with water. Results suggest that calcium titanium phosphate shows a diffusion controlled ion release mode with a preferential release of Ca.

T1 - Validation of submodels for CFD simulation of n-hexane pool flames including interferometry N2 - Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used to predict transient and time-averaged glame temperatures and species concentrations of an n-hexane pool flame. Employing a combination of an assumed probability density function approach with laminar flamelets using detailed kinetic data and large-eddy simulation with Smagorinsky submodel is shown to be a promising way in modeling pool and tank fires. The measured species concentration and flame temperature profiles from gas chromatography, thermocouple measurements and holographic interferometry are used to validate the submodels for CFD simulation of pool flames.
