Abstract :
In this paper, a numerical model of aerosol Particle Charge and Size Analyzer is discussed together with the simulation results. In order to determine the optimal range of system parameters, the effect of drive frequency, strength of the electric field, mean flow velocity on the particle count percentage have been investigated based on the specific criteria in sine and square wave excitation fields. The optimal range of system parameters for both excitation methods has been determined with the recommended values proposed for sine and square wave excitation systems.
