TL;DR: An electronic smoking article includes a liquid supply including liquid material, a heater operable to heat liquid material to a temperature sufficient to vaporize the liquid material and form an aerosol as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational Modeling of Aerosol Deposition in Respiratory Tract: A Review
TL;DR: An overview of the current status of the computational tools and approaches available for predicting respiratory-tract dosimetry of inhaled particulate matter and the progress made in each area in the last three decades is discussed along with some suggestions for future direction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational transport, phase change and deposition analysis of inhaled multicomponent droplet–vapor mixtures in an idealized human upper lung model
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive and efficient computational fluid-particle dynamics model has been developed to simultaneously analyze multi-component droplet-vapor and airflow interactions with evaporation and condensation effects for different sets of inhalation conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of smoking parameters on the particle size distribution and predicted airway deposition of mainstream cigarette smoke.
TL;DR: The MPPD dosimetry model was modified by incorporating mechanisms involved in respiratory tract deposition of MCS: hygroscopic growth, coagulation, evaporation of semivolatiles, and mixing of the smoke with inhaled dilution air resulted in reasonable agreement between predicted airway deposition and human smoke retention measurements.
