Aerosol Technology II Charges on Aerosols,

Abstract

The treatment of fine particle and ion behavior here used is partial and pragmatic. A voluminous, and sometimes confusing, literature is available which will repay the effort of studying it. It should not be expected that any theory is better than the assumptions on which it is based and on the accuracy with which the necessary parameters are known. The ephemeral nature of aerosols and their infinite variety should make one more surprised at the general accord with theory than at the occasional apparently erratic misbehavior. Few people have worked with aerosols without the chagrin of predicting not only the wrong magnitude of an expected change but the wrong sign of the change as well. (Author)
