Abstract
A new method for generation of aerosol particles, which will be called ''boiling method,'' is proposed. This method consists of (1) suspendi ng particles in liquid, (2) passing the suspension through a heated ca pillary tube, and (3) boiling of suspension to generate an aerosol. Ae rosol particles thus generated are found to be effectively dispersed i nto primary (not coagulated) particles in high concentration. Such a d ispersion is difficult if not impossible to produce by conventional ne bulizers.
