We have developed a unified aspiration efficiency model for sampling with round inlets at 0-90°forward angles from horizontal aerosol flows. The aspiration efficiency is represented by a single equation as a function of the sampling angle, the ratio of wind to inlet velocity, and different inertial parameters for 0-60°and 45-90°sampling. The equation for 45-90°s ampling is an extension of the Laktionov equation for 90°. The new model fits the experimental data within experimental accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
