MOVEMENT OF AEROSOL PARTICLES 677 (c) Compare these values with those given as examples in Tables II, IV, V, VI, VIII, and IX. (d) From these comparisons, judge which [orce has the predomi- nant effect. A rough estimate o[ the efficiency ot• deposition may be made simply by scanning these tables. I[ desired, the efficiency o[ aerosol deposition (or collision) upon the surface in question may be estimated more accurately from the equa- tions given or cited. b (cm) C d•, (cm) D (cm) 5) (cm"/sec) (dyne) (cm/sec •) k z, (cm) Q•, (coulombs) R (cm) Re t (sec) T(øK) ½m/se•) •o ½m/•e•) ½m/•) ½m/•) •o ½m/•) TABLE OF SYMBOLS = spacing between center line of flow and outermost streamline within which all particles collide with obstacle in path --Cunningham factor, correction to Stokes law for small particles = diameter of spherical aerosol particle = characteristic dimension of obstacle in path = diffusion coefficient of particle due to BrownJan motion = drag force upon particle moving relative to air = acceleration due to gravity, 980 cm/sec 2 = dimensionless parameter (general) for gravity deposi- tion = Boltzman's constant = dimensionless parameter for electrostatic attraction = length of duct or tube, also a horizontal dimension = electrostatic charge on an aerosol particle = Peclet number, dimensionless = radial position in a tube = radius of a sphere or cylinder, also vertical dimension = Reynolds number, dimensionless = time = absolute temperature = speed of motion of particle = initial speed of motion of particle in still air = terminal settling velocity of particle = horizontal component of velocity of particle = vertical component of velocity of particle = average velocity of fluid
