The design and fabrication of a monodisperse aerosol generator

Abstract
A monodisperse aerosol generator using a dual stream carrier gas designed and built for combustion research is described. Tetralin is used as the working fluid to generate the mist. The system is capable of generating monosize droplets of diameters between 7 μm to 58 μm. The stability of the system can be maintained up to 4 hours with a typical monodispersity of 0.12.
