The paper is dealing with the presentations of collecting efficiencies of electrostatic precipitators. Whereas the total separation efficiency and effective migration rates respectively bear some problems in interpretation and discussion an observation of the flux of locally precipitated dust should lead to more clarity and an improved insight of precipitation because it is only based on physic...

Flux boundary conditions are interesting in a number of contexts ranging from multiscale simulations to simulations of molecular hydrodynamics in nanoscale systems. Here we introduce, analyze, and test a general scheme to impose boundary conditions that simultaneously control the momentum and energy flux into open particle systems The scheme is shown to handle far from equilibrium simulations. ...
