Abstract
The collision efficiency of Brownian coagulation for monodisperse nanoparticles is considered. A new expression for friction coefficient of particle pair is proposed based on an assumption from a statistical point of view and the relative diffusion coefficient is thus be modified in order to take into account this influence as well as the effects of slip. The modified diffusion coefficient increases the collision efficiency to some extent as expected whether van der Waals interparticle potential is considered or not. A comparison with experimental measurements shows the accuracy of the results predicted by modified theory and the necessity of considering the decrease of friction coefficient due to the random motion of nanoparticles as well as the slip effects arising from the finite mean free path of gas molecules.
