Abstract
To better understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of high air relative humidity on filter medialoaded with submicron particles, a model was developed for the geometry of capillary water between contacting microspheres. The developed Nodoid model can be employed to calculate the amount of adsorbed water as a function of the air relative humidity and temperature as well as the geometries of unequal size particles and water-to-particle contact angles between 0 and 90°. Examples for the influences of various parameters on the capillary water volume and comparison of results to those from a model by Chen are presented.
