<p> Levitation melting was used to study the oxidation kinetics of free falling iron droplets. Single droplets of Armco iron were deoxidized and allowed to fall through oxidizing columns of known heights and then quenched in Silicone Oil. The rate of oxygen pick up by a droplet was found to be dependent upon its initial temperature, its size, and the composition of the reacting gas. The proposed mechanism is presented with kinetic data.</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
