Title Modeling the coagulation of charged particles
Date 2004
Description One important mechanism in the growth of soot particles is to understand the role of particle charge in the coagulation of the particles. A previously developed model has been extended to include the coagulation of charged particles. The model includes neutral particles and charged particles (up to three charges). The enhancement factors for the coagulation between neutral and charged particles, and between like-charged particles, have been computed. These factors have been used in a computer code for simulating the coagulation of charged particles. The results included the predictions of the percentage of charged particles with different charges after the coagulation process. The simulation of the particle number and size evolution agrees well with published experimental data.
