Index Aerosol impaction

In the physics of aerosols, aerosol impaction is the process in which particles are removed from an air stream by forcing the gases to make a sharp bend.[1]

Aerodynamic aerosol classifier

An aerodynamic aerosol classifier (AAC) is an embodiment of a measurement technique for classifying aerosol particles according to their aerodynamic diameters. Aerosol impaction and aerodynamic aerosol classifier are aerosols.

See Aerosol impaction and Aerodynamic aerosol classifier

Aerosol

An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Aerosol impaction and aerosol are aerosols.

See Aerosol impaction and Aerosol

Air mass

In meteorology, an air mass is a volume of air defined by its temperature and humidity.

See Aerosol impaction and Air mass

Cascade impactor

A cascade impactor measures the reach range of a particulate substance as it moves through an opening with the use of aerosol.

See Aerosol impaction and Cascade impactor

Chemical reaction

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

See Aerosol impaction and Chemical reaction

Deposition (aerosol physics)

In the physics of aerosols, deposition is the process by which aerosol particles collect or deposit themselves on solid surfaces, decreasing the concentration of the particles in the air. Aerosol impaction and deposition (aerosol physics) are aerosols and particulates.

See Aerosol impaction and Deposition (aerosol physics)

Desiccation

Desiccation is the state of extreme dryness, or the process of extreme drying.

See Aerosol impaction and Desiccation

Dimension

In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it.

See Aerosol impaction and Dimension

Gas

Gas is one of the four fundamental states of matter.

See Aerosol impaction and Gas

Mass

Mass is an intrinsic property of a body.

See Aerosol impaction and Mass

Momentum

In Newtonian mechanics, momentum (momenta or momentums; more specifically linear momentum or translational momentum) is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

See Aerosol impaction and Momentum

Monolayer

A monolayer is a single, closely packed layer of entities, commonly atoms or molecules.

See Aerosol impaction and Monolayer

Particulates

Particulates or atmospheric particulate matter (see below for other names) are microscopic particles of solid or liquid matter suspended in the air. Aerosol impaction and particulates are aerosols.

See Aerosol impaction and Particulates

Physics

Physics is the natural science of matter, involving the study of matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behavior through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force.

See Aerosol impaction and Physics

Sample (material)

In general, a sample is a limited quantity of something which is intended to be similar to and represent a larger amount of that thing(s).
