Abstract
A theory of photo- and thermophoresis of a heated medium-size spherical aerosol particle is proposed in the quasi-stationary Stokes approximation at relatively small Reynolds and Peclet numbers. Gas-dynamic equations are solved with allowance for power dependences of the molecular transport (viscosity and thermal conductivity) coefficients and density of the gas medium on temperature. Boundary conditions take into account effects that are linear with respect to the Knudsen number. Expressions for the total force and velocity are derived. It is shown than the above effects may substantially affect the motion of a heated particle.
