Abstract
This is an experimental study of the coagulation of a dibutyl phthalate aerosol consisting of a narrow distribution of submicron spheres. The aerosol is in Poiseuille flow. Light-scattering data are obtained early in the life history of the aerosol and again after it has undergone coagulation. The size distribution of the initial aerosol is obtained by inversion of the light-scattering data, and the size distribution is calculated at later times by numerical solution of Smoluchowski's integrodifferential equation adapted to the Poiseuille flow. The new distribution is then used to calculate light-scattering results which are compared with the experimental data. The results are in agreement with Smoluchowski's theory of Brownian coagulation.
