Abstract

A model of the particle deposition within the Inertial Spectrometer based on laminar flow and particle Stokes regime, is presented. A remarkable agreement with experimental data is obtained by using a boundary layer approximation along the external curvature of the bend. The particles with masses high enough to penetrate this boundary layer are affected by a slower velocity and so they experience a lower separation than has been calculated previously without consideration of the boundary layer. Through some simplifications it is possible to obtain a relationship between the aerodynamic diameter of different calibration curves. This enables us to extend the comparison with several experimental curves and to predict other calibration curves from a given one.
