Use of the Electrostatic Classification Method to Investigate the Size Distribution of Aerosols near Hurricane Erika
نویسنده
چکیده
We present measurements of aerosols acquired with a differential mobility analyzer condensation particle counter (DMA-CPC) system aboard a P-3 flight from Miami, FL to Bermuda during Hurricane Erika in 1997. We have analyzed particle number densities as a function of particle diameter, wind speed, and distance from the eye of the hurricane. Our results indicate that particles with diameters larger than .025 μm are scavenged efficiently within the hurricane, resulting in a mono modal distribution near the eye.

The impetus of this study is to investigate the chaotic behavior of a size-dependent nano-beam with double-sided electrostatic actuation, incorporating surface energy effect and intermolecular interactions. The geometrically nonlinear beam model is based on Euler-Bernoulli beam assumption. The influence of the small-scale and the surface energy effect are modeled by implementing the consistent ...
