Mass transfer of aerosols with axial diffusion in narrow rectangular channels

Abstract

The problem of mass transfer of aerosols with axial, as well as radial, diffusion in laminar flow in a narrow rectangular channel is studied. Two cases are investigated. The first case is where all particles enter the channel inlet and none form within the channel; and the second, where no particles enter the channel, and “formation in flight” occurs within the channel. For each case, analyses are made for both slug and Poiseuille flows.
