  1. Condensation Reading: Chap 13 • In the continuum regime, diffusion theory is used. At steady state Q: Is nd equal to ns? Rate of diffusional condensation Q: How much is it? Volume growth Size growth Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  2. Q: How can the condensation rate be increased? Q: How does the growth rate depend on size? Implication? Ex: For dp = 0. 1 and 1 mm, calculate the new dp after 1 sec of water vapor condensation at 20 oC. • In the free molecular regime, the gas kinetic theory is applied Volume growth Size growth Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  3. Q: How does the growth rate depend on particle volume? Particle size? Implication? For the entire range (Sutugen, 1971) (Pratsinis, 1988) Kelvin effect Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  4. Log-Normal Model Free Molecular Continuum Pratsinis, S. J. Colloid & Interface Science, 124(2), 416-427. Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  5. Non-dimensionalize the equations Q: N(t)? dp(t)? sg(t)? S(t)? Assuming condensation only. Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  6. Asymptotic Behavior: after a long time For the Continuum regime Eliminating dt Integrating and noting that the initial values are very small Important!!!  s = ? Note Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  7. Condensation Characteristic Time Q: When? Constant Particle Size: Limited vapor with a high particle loading Q: Physical meaning? Constant Vapor Concentration: a small particle loading with unlimited vapor Q: When? Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  14. Effects of Temperature • Temperature at the surface may be different from that away from the surface • Droplet heating may take place due to the release of latent heat Q: What’s the resultant impact of latent heat on condensation? H: latent heat kv: thermal conductivity of the gas Dv: diffusion coefficient of the molecule Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  15. Empirical equation for temperature difference T1 in oC. Fuchs correction factor (necessary for small particles) Q: Resultant effect of Φon condensation? Aerosol & Particulate Research Laboratory

  20. Evaporation • The reverse process of particle growth though there is no ciritical size. • Droplet lifetime/drying time Q: Where is evaporation important? • For volatile materials, cooling of the droplet due to the latenet heat of evaporation needs to be considered.
