Description
About the Book
"Since 1982, Aerosol Technology has been the number one text of choice among students and professionals who need to acquire a thorough working knowledge of modern aerosol theory and applications. While the fundamentals of aerosol science and technology have changed little over the years, the latter has changed substantially since the second edition was published. The third edition reflects the considerable advances that have been made over the past several decades of aerosol-related application areas. The latest edition has updated examples, sections, and practice problems designed to help readers gain mastery over the material. The book also includes new content exploring recent advances in areas of aerosol technology such as nanoparticles, health effects of atmospheric aerosols, modern instruments, remote sensing, bioaerosols, and low-cost sensors"--Book Synopsis
AEROSOL TECHNOLOGY
An in-depth and accessible treatment of aerosol theory and its applications
The Third Edition of Aerosol Technology: Properties, Behavior, and Measurement of Airborne Particles delivers a thorough and authoritative exploration of modern aerosol theory and its applications. The book offers readers a working knowledge of the topic that reflects the numerous advances that have been made across a broad spectrum of aerosol-related application areas. New updates to the popular text include treatments of nanoparticles, the health effects of atmospheric aerosols, remote sensing, bioaerosols, and low-cost sensors. Additionally, readers will benefit from insightful new discussions of modern instruments.
The authors maintain a strong focus on the fundamentals of the discipline, while providing a robust overview of real-world applications of aerosol theory. New exercise problems and examples populate the book, which also includes:
- Thorough introductions to aerosol technology, key definitions, particle size, shape, density, and concentration, as well as the properties of gases
- Comprehensive explorations of uniform particle motion, particle size statistics, and straight-line acceleration and curvilinear particle motion
- Practical discussions of particle adhesion, Brownian motion and diffusion, thermal and radiometric forces, and filtration
- In-depth examinations of sampling and measurement of concentration, respiratory deposition, coagulation, condensation, evaporation, and atmospheric aerosols
Perfect for senior undergraduate and junior graduate students of science and technology, Aerosol Technology: Properties, Behavior, and Measurement of Airborne Particles will also earn a place in the libraries of professionals working in industrial hygiene, air pollution control, climate science, radiation protection, and environmental science.
