Systematic Investigation of the Design Parameters of a Slit Aerosol Concentrator.

Abstract

An investigation was made of the parameters which affect performance of a slit aerosol concentrator. Some of the parameters investigated were nozzle shape, air flow patterns, inlet nozzle width and velocity, receiver nozzle width, and spacing between inlet and receiver nozzle. Graphical and mathematical analysis of the test data was made to define the optimum parameters for a slit concentrator. Four slit concentrators were designed, fabricated and tested. (Author)
