Aerosol Technology: Properties, Behavior, and Measurement of Airborne Particles

Front Cover
Wiley, Jul 27, 1982 - Technology & Engineering - 448 pages
This timely text / reference provides a complete introduction to the properties, behavior, and measurement of suspended particles (dust, smoke, clouds) and the physical and chemical principles underlying their behavior. Emphasizing physical rather than mathematical analysis, this volume details such applications as filtration, respiratory deposition, sampling, and the production of test aerosols. The book features a complete exposition of the basic principles of aerosol science, including particle motion, forces on particles, the interactions of particles with the suspending gas, other particles, and electromagnetic radiation, and the application of these principles to aerosol measurement. Among the other important areas analyzed are : Particle size statistics; Droplet evaporation; Impaction; Electrical properties; Coagulation; Optical properties; Dust explosions
