Aerosol-Nanoparticle-Course

Master level course on aerosols and particles at the University of Bremen.

The course is based on the books:

• Friedlander, Sheldon Kay. Smoke, dust, and haze. Oxford university press, 2000.
• Friedlander, Sheldon Kay. "Smoke, dust and haze: Fundamentals of aerosol behavior." New York (1977).

and on

• L. Mädler and S. K. Friedlander, Transport of nanoparticles: overview and recent advances, Aerosol and Air Quality Research 2007 Vol. 7 Issue 3 Pages 304-342 http://aaqr.org/VOL7_No3_September2007/3_AAQR-07-03-IR-0017_304-342.pdf

Design prolems in Aerosol Technology

There are two example desing problems:

• Diffusional losses in a laminar pipe flow.
• Change of a number distribution due to coagulation.

Both problems are soved numerically and validated with analytical solutions. Finally there is a new problem statement for curent students of the course.
