Phoresis of spherical particles in multicomponent gas mixtures
Abstract
A theory is developed for the drag, thermophoresis, diffusiophoresis and thermodiffusiophoresis of spherical aerosol particles in multicomponent gas mixtures. The theory is based on a kinetic-theory model in which the particles are treated as giant molecules, and covers the full range of particle Knudsen numbers. It is shown how the theory allows results on multicomponent mixtures to be predicted from results on single gases or binary mixtures.
