Figures & data
FIG. 1 Aging time scale due to condensation of hygroscopic vapors as a function of geometric mean BC particle diameter for different polydispersity levels and accommodation coefficients.
FIG. 2 Polydispersity factor as a function of geometric standard deviation for different geometric mean BC particle diameters. The limiting case of the continuum regime is also compared. For the computations, α = 1 was used.
FIG. 3 Aging time scale as a function of condensing vapor concentration for different geometric mean BC particle diameters. For the computations, σg = 1.5 and α = 1 were used.
FIG. 4 Aging time scale due to condensation of hygroscopic vapors as a function of geometric mean BC particle diameter for different polydispersity levels and accommodation coefficients but for the number-based parameterization.
FIG. 5 Polydispersity factor as a function of geometric standard deviation for different geometric mean BC particle diameters but for the number-based parameterization. The limiting case of the continuum regime is also compared. For the computations, α = 1 was used.
