Title Particle size-selection by simple filters
Bibliographic information HSE Information Centre, Broad Lane, Sheffield S3 7HQ, United Kingdom, 1988. 8p. 13 ref.
Abstract A paper from the Aerosol Society Conference held in Bournemouth, United Kingdom, 22-24 March 1988. Some experimental size-selection curves for relatively coarse filters are presented and differences in general shape are related to simple theory. Size-selectivity has a Gaussian form if the process by which the filter acts is pure interception or gravitational desposition, while a much sharper curve is associated with inertial impaction.
