Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 航空太空工程學系 === 84 === A theoretical study of the MCVD process in the vertical tube for the manufacture of optical fiber performs is presented. The related flow and heat transfer, are obtained including the effects of variable properties, tube rotation,buoyance, thermal radiation, and laser effect. We adopt thethree-dimensional optically thin limit approximation to model the radiation mechanism of the aerosol particles. Our result indicate that thermal rediation lower the deposition efficiency. When the folw field is heated by laser, a significant increase in deposition efficiency can beachieved as well as elevation of laser power. Thus, there is a optimal laser beam width to have a highest deposition efficiency. While the energydistribution of laser beam moving toward center, higher depoisition efficiency is got if the center of laser is located at the neighborhood near the wall. A rotation speed of 60rpm, 120rpm, 300rpm, affects deposition efficiencys lightly. But the deposition efficiency will decreased when the tube is fixed because the local heating. The increasein the inlet mean velocity enhances the effect of the axial forced convection,thus results in the lower the reaction percentage and higherdeposition efficiency since SiO2 particles are only formed over a portionof the cross-section near the tube wall.
