Seasonal analysis revealed higher concentrations of <i>n</i>-alkanes, PAHs, and lignin products during the winter, while alcohols, fatty acids, sterols, and sugars exhibited elevated levels in both autumn and winter. Size segregation analysis showed that all organic species, except phthalates and PAHs, accumulated predominantly in the fine and ultrafine particle fractions. Source apportionment through factor analysis revealed a complex mixture of sources shaping aerosol composition, including vehicular emissions, various combustion activities (biomass burning and charbroiled cooking), natural background factors, and the combination of urban dust and biogenic materials.

In this paper, the model’s description is extended to cover the deposition onto the other oriented surfaces, namely the horizontal ones with face up and down. Following that, an application is carried out to analyze the aerosols’ penetration through building cracks. An important new subject is considered, which is the penetration through vertical cracks in comparison to horizontal ones. Previous papers in the literature, never considered vertical cracks’ penetration. The ability of the current model to carry out such comparison comes from the way it is constructed, in which all the three dimensions of a crack are taken into consideration, not just the depth and thickness. The results of the model agree well with the experiments. This indicates the good ability of the developed deposition model in describing aerosols’ penetration through cracks.

Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of the interactions are used to obtain results. Several assumptions are made in the model. The drops remain small enough that the Reynolds number, which is linear in the density of the surrounding fluid, is negligible. However, the Stokes number, which is proportional to droplet mass and is a measure of drop inertia, can be much larger than one. Another restriction is that evaporation is dominated by diffusion and that convection of mass is insignificant. In analyzing evaporation when two drops are present, it is noted that the loss of mass is not the same at each point on a droplet surface. That is, evaporation is non-uniform in a spatial sense. In order to maintain the required spherical drop shape, three approaches, involving the isolated droplet and bispherical coordinate solutions, were taken to determine the mass flux due to evaporation and subsequently the drop position at each time step. For a pair of water drops with radii between 2 and 30 <span>(upmu)</span>m, the following conclusions were obtained. In all three methods, evaporation leads to weaker inertial effects and stronger hydrodynamic effects. Most importantly, in comparing critical horizontal offsets, when both attractive molecular forces and Maxwell slip are considered, all three approaches to evaporation lead to similar results, making the choice of method nearly inconsequential.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36991,"journal":{"name":"Aerosol Science and Engineering","volume":"9 1","pages":"52 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141644270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
