The penetration of aerosols through fine orifices

Abstract

A novel experimental technique has been extended to study the migration of gas-borne glass microspheres in the size range from about 1 to 15 {mu}m volume equivalent diameter through orifices with bores and thicknesses in the range from 2 to 100 {mu}m and 12.7 to 509 {mu}m respectively. The penetration of these particles was significant with all orifices greater than 10 {mu}m bore at a constant driving pressure of 100 kPa. However, few particles penetrated the 5 {mu}m bore orifice, while virtually no particles penetrated the 2 {mu}m bore orifice. Particle size distributions determined after penetration through the orifices were very similar to that of the upstream aerosol except when significant attenuation occurred. (author).
