A comparison of experimental data, analytical results, and numerical calculations of the Brownian deposition of spherical nanoparticles is carried out. It is shown that for nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm and larger than 5 nm the relative discrepancy between experimental data and analytical results does not exceed 15%. In other radius ranges of nanoparticles the discrepancy is substantially smaller.
