Abstract
We have studied the deposition of latex particles of diameter 0.8, 2.8, 5.7, 9.5, and 25.7 μm on a cylindrical collector of diameter 250 μm. Experiments were performed with a horizontal and a vertical cylinder. The position of the particles deposited on the horizontal collector shows the contributions of the various transport mechanisms in a qualitative way. From the deposition rate on the vertical collector the collector efficiency is calculated. The results are compared with existing theories. The data deviate considerably from predictions of the classical interception theory, but agree well with the theory of particle capture including London-van der Waals and viscous forces.
