Abstract

Collision efficiencies E have been determined from particle trajectories for the case of a 1-mm glass sphere and 6–20 μ spherical glass particles falling in still air. An empirical formula for the dependence of E upon scavenger size, scavenger velocity, and particle terminal velocity has been derived.

Abstract

Experiments with charged water droplets show the existence of the metastable states predicted by Cahn as well as the well-known unstable state predicted by Lord Rayleigh. The charge lost at metastability is completely recovered with time, whereas the charge lost at instability is only partially recovered. The recovery of charge may be a space-charge effect, or it may be a result of electrification that accompanies the exchange of water vapor.

Abstract

The collision of a falling drop With a small particle has been studied by high-speed photography. The trajectory of the particle relative to the center of the drop and relative to a fixed point has been determined under various conditions. The effect of electrostatic charges on drop and particle has been studied.
