Abstract
Experimental studies have been conducted to test aspects of an aerosol nucleation and growth model developed by Buckle. This work involved following the condensation of caesium iodide aerosols in a simple resistance furnace/thermal gradient tube apparatus as functions of the temperature of the source (and hence the CsI vapour pressure), the temperature of the external atmosphere, and the duration of the experiment. Particle size distributions of the resulting aerosol were obtained for comparison with theoretical predictions. Many of the general trends predicted by the model were observed in the experiments (for example, increasing the source temperature resulted in an increase in the particle size), and the absolute values predicted by the model for the mean volume equivalent diameter were within a factor of two of the experimental data.
