Abstract

The collision efficiency of Brownian coagulation for monodisperse aerosol particles in the transition regime is considered. A new expression for collision efficiency is proposed taking into account the influence of tangential relative motion when two particles get close enough during the diffusion process. The breakaway point from which the theory of near continuum regime no longer applies can thus be obtained easily. A comparison with experimental measurements shows the accuracy of the results predicted by the new theory.
