TLDR
In this paper, a simple expression in the near continuum requime is derived by solving the Boltzmann equation for condensation rate for a spherical droplet, and use of this result in Fuch's interpolation formula for all knudsen numbers is discussed.

Heat conduction from a spherical nano-particle : status of modeling heat conduction in laser-induced incandescence

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a comprehensive review of the heat conduction modeling practice in the LII literature and an overview of the physics of particle conduction loss from a single spherical particle in the entire range of Knudsen number with emphasis on the transition regime.

Growth rates for liquid drops

TL;DR: In this article, an expression for the growth rate, R, of a drop, radius R, is obtained in terms of the total local condensation rate in a cloud, showing the redistributive effects arising from surface tension, dissolved species, and the interaction with radiation.

Energy transfer between an aerosol particle and gas at high temperature ratios in the Knudsen transition regime

TL;DR: In this article, a non-continuum heat transfer between an isolated, motionless, highly overheated spherical particle and its cooler surrounding gas is studied using the Direct Monte Carlo Simulation (DSMC) technique for the "calibration" case of a monatomic, hard-sphere gas.

Aerosol Growth and the Condensation Coefficient for Water: A Review

TL;DR: The theory of aerosol growth is reviewed and a somewhat modified form is presented in this article, which is consistent with a condensation coefficient of unity but indicates that the thermal accommodation coefficient may be somewhat smaller.
Journal ArticleDOI

The condensation and evaporation of liquid droplets at arbitrary Knudsen number in the presence of an inert gas

TL;DR: In this paper, a new set of equations describing the growth and evaporation of stationary liquid droplets in a mixture of pure vapour and inert gas is presented in a simple algebraic form and is suitable for practical calculations of droplet growth at any Knudsen number and at any concentration of inert gas.

Highly dispersed aerosols

N.A. Fuchs, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the processes leading to the formation of high-dispersed aerosols with particle size below 0.1 μ and the methods of generation and investigation of these aerosols are treated as well as their physical properties differing fundamentally from those of coarse aerosols.
