Question

Surface areas of aerosol particles are crucial as they are found to correlate with health effects closely. An aerosol stream generated from a diesel engine has a distribution that is log-normal with a number median diameter of 0.1 μm and a geometrical standard deviation of 2.0. Using the table of normal integrals, determine the fraction of particles by surface area that is contained within the size range from 0.05 to 0.25 μm.

Expert Solution
