THE DEPOSITION OF SOOT PARTICLES FROM HOT GAS STREAMS THROUGH PIPES

Using theories for diffusive and thermophoretic deposition available i n the literature, a model was compiled for the estimation of the penet ration rate of aerosol particles through pipes. The numerical results of the model were tested by a few experiments, and its practical appli cability has been demonstrated. A realistic case with diesel exhaust a s the test aerosol and high penetration rates (about 90%) was chosen. The soot aerosol turned out to be bimodal (120 and 2400 nm approximate ly, GSD > 2).
