Abstract
An earlier calculation of the solution of the time-independent equatio n for the diffusion of coagulating particles is modified to take into account the correct dependence of the Brownian diffusion coefficient o n particle size. Explicit analytic results are obtained for the spatia l dependence of the particle number density N and the volume fraction of particulate matter phi.
