This study examined the hygroscopic effect on aerosol behavior by modifying the condensation model employed in the NAUA-4 computer program to include the hygroscopic properties of CsOH. Correlations were developed for water vapor pressures over CsOH solutions, solution surface tension, and solution thermal conductivity in order to determine the condensation rate on particles. Expressions for the solution density and for the liquidus curve were also developed to calculate solution volume and to partition CsOH between dissolved and nondissolved states.
