Measurements of the Size Distribution and Solubility of Salty Dog Pyrotechnic.

Abstract

A laboratory experiment was undertaken to measure the size distribution and solubility of pyrotechnically generated hygroscopic aerosols (Salty Dog Aerosol). The results showed that all particles had dry sizes larger than 0.2 micron with the maximum number occurring in the size range between 0.25 and 0.50 micron radius. The solubility factor B was measured for particles in the size range of 0.20 to 0.26 micron found to be 0.20.
