Abstract: In this study, we aimed to estimate the weight fraction of crystalline phases in a cathode deposition formed by DC arc-discharge between graphite electrodes in water via the XRD method and CARBON XS program based on Shi model, which takes into account disorder and stacking faults in a graphite structure. The structural computation of graphitic carbon materials for comparison was done by using CARBON XS according to Shi model. From the study, we observed that the total weight fraction of 2H hexagonal and 3R rhombohedral ordered structures of graphitic carbon decreases from 77.69% to 48.98%, whereas the weight fraction of random shift and stacking faults increases from 22.31% to 51.02% as compared to these parameters belonging to pure graphite structure during the arc-discharge process.

Abstract: The delivery of grinding fluid to the contact zone is generally achieved via a nozzle. The nozzle geometry influences the fluid velocity and flow pattern on exit from the nozzle orifice. It is important to the efficiency of the process and to the performance of the operation that the fluid is delivered in a manner that ensures the desired jet velocity has adequate coverage of the contact zone. Often, assumptions about adequate coverage are based on visual inspections of the jet coherence. This paper provides new insight into the internal nozzle flows and the coherent length of a wide range of nozzle designs. The work presents a new analytical model to predict coherent length which is shown to correlate well with measured data from experiment. Recommendations are given to guide a user to optimal design of nozzles to ensure adequate fluid supply to the contact zone.
