Critical size of aerosol particles in physical and chemical deposition

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Problems related to the critical size of aerosol particles, when the vapor condensation coefficient depends on the particle size, the influence of electromagnetic fields, as well as on the presence of adsorbable foreign gases in the system, are studied theoretically. The problem of the critical size of particles in chemical deposition is discussed.
