Model of aerosol evolution in high supersaturated glycerol-air vapor mixtures

A mathematical model for the formation of condensation aerosols from highly supersaturated vapor-air mixtures is presented. The suitable systems with very high nucleation rates that result in aerosol mass densities >1 g/m3. It accounts nucleation, non-isothermal condensation, coagulation and indirectly coalescence newly formed particles. applies kinetic theory to determine rate treats separate stages, but both are coupled condensation. statistical approach based on Weibull function used estimate size distribution droplets (particles). has been applied study glycerol Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems. qualitatively reproduces observed trend particle decreases as puff flow increases. Within framework, at lower higher concentrations occur leading which larger aerosol. Copyright © 2021 American Association Aerosol Research
