Experimental and simulated PSDs rescaled
with respect to their
respective average diameter and then normalized with respect to their
integral. The black solid lines are representative PSDs obtained with
model (I), the dark gray dashed line is the classical Lifshitz–Slyozov–Wagner
(LSW) PSD for diffusion-limited Ostwald ripening, and the blue dotted
lines are representative PSDs obtained with model (II). (a) Experimental
PSDs obtained after one cycle in the temperature range 80–250
°C; the sum of squared errors (SSE) for model (I), model (II),
and the LSW PSD is equal to 3, 131, and 49, respectively. (b) Experimental
PSDs obtained in the temperature range 80–100 °C and in
the cycle range 3–10; the SSE for model (I), model (II), and
the LSW PSD is equal to 9, 182, and 65, respectively. (c) Experimental
PSDs obtained in the temperature range 150–250 °C and
in the cycle range 3–10;the SSE for model (I), model (II),
and the LSW PSD is equal to 3, 157, and 72, respectively.
