Abstract
An electrical precipitation method for the analysis of smokes according to particle size has been investigated. A thin stream of smoke particles moving under laminar conditions in a wind tunnel of rectangular cross section is electrically charged in a small region. The charged particles are then precipitated by the uniform field existing between the charged upper plate and the grounded lower plate of the wind tunnel as a long track along the lower plate. The size‐frequency distributions of the particles precipitated at various points on the lower plate were determined from measurements on enlargements of electron‐microscope photographs of samples of the smoke precipitated at various points. The agreement between theory and experiment is fair, but the range of sizes of the particles precipitated at a given point is rather large.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
