ESE/ChE 158 - Aerosol Physics and Chemistry

Fundamentals of aerosol dynamics and their description using population balance equations: particle size and property distributions in aerosol systems. Physical and chemical mechanisms that govern the aerosol dynamics from the continuum through free-molecular regimes: condensation and evaporation; nucleation; particle aerodynamics and diffusion. Thermodynamic, physical, and optical properties of aerosol particles.
