Characterization of an Aerodynamic Lens for Transmitting Particles Greater than 1 Micrometer in Diameter into the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer
We have designed and characterized a new inlet and aerodynamic lens for the Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS) that transmits particles between 80 nm and more than 3 μm in vacuum aerodynamic diameter. The design of the inlet and lens was optimized with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling of particle trajectories. Major changes include a redesigned critical orifice holder and valve...
متن کاملNumerical Characterization of Particle Beam Collimation: Part II Integrated Aerodynamic-Lens–Nozzle System
As a sequel to our previous effort on the modeling of particle motion through a single lens or nozzle, flows of gas–particle suspensions through an integrated aerodynamic-lens–nozzle inlet have been investigated numerically. It is found that the inlet transmission efficiency (ηt) is unity for particles of intermediate diameters (Dp ∼ 30–500 nm). The transmission efficiency gradually diminishes ...
متن کاملبررسی نقش فاکتورهای آئرودینامیکی - هندسی سیکلون در حدف ذرات
Background and aims: Extensive industrial and production activities are one of the major sources of dust. In many cases, cyclones are used as the control measure. The removal efficiency of dust in cyclones depends on different factors. Some of these factors are, the design parameters, e.g. cyclone diameter, particle density, operating temperature and fluid physical properties, density of gas ...
متن کاملWind Tunnel Tests of a Shrouded Aircraft Inlet
We describe tests of a shrouded aerosol inlet for a high-altitude jet aircraft. Both the lip of the inlet and the shroud are NACA (National Committee for Aeronautics, now known as NASA, or National Aeronautics and Space Administration) airfoils. Wind tunnel tests show a smooth growth of the boundary layer in the inlet, with an undisturbed core more than I m back from the entrance. The shroud ma...
متن کاملCharacterisation and airborne deployment of a new counterflow virtual impactor inlet
A new counterflow virtual impactor (CVI) inlet is introduced with details of its design, laboratory characterisation tests and deployment on an aircraft during the 2011 Eastern Pacific Emitted Aerosol Cloud Experiment (EPEACE). The CVI inlet addresses three key issues in previous designs; in particular, the inlet operates with: (i) negligible organic contamination; (ii) a significant sample flo...
