Abstract
The flow of a hydrogen–methane mixture through heated coaxial cylindrical tungsten channels with a built-in tungsten wire is studied by the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method. The purpose of the study is further development of the gas-phase method of deposition of diamond structures. The axial distributions of the concentrations of the components of the hydrogen–carbon mixture are calculated by means of solving a system of chemical kinetics equations. A series of experiments on deposition of diamond structures from various flows of the hydrogen–methane mixture is performed. The calculated results are compared with the experimental data. Based on these comparisons, it is concluded that numerical optimization of operation modes of gas-dynamic reactors can be used for deposition of diamond structures.
