| Abstract |
A quantitative theory has been developed to predict coupled energy and mass transport phenomena during inhalation of hygroscopic aerosol-laden air. It is shown that water vapor condensation on hygroscopic particles during inhalation of aerosol-laden air may result in very nonuniform aerosol induced vapor deposition in the lung. The developed theory is not limited to water vapor and can be applied to other vapor/gas particle-induced scavenging and deposition in the respiratory system. |
