- Summary
- Measurements were made of effective density, size distribution and dynamic shape factor for sodium fire aerosol particles using centrifugal separation and scanning electron microscopy. The aerosols were formed by burning one pound of sodium in a 90 m/sup 3/ air filled chamber at initial relative humidities from 16% to 53%. The aerosol particles were primarily sodium carbonate with water of hydration or adsorbed water. Twenty-nine samples of aerosols aged from 34-376 minutes gave an average value of effective density of 0.61 gm/cm/sup 3/ with relative standard deviation of 22%. This corresponds to a Stokes' correction factor, ..cap alpha.., as used in the HAA-3 Code of 0.27. For the conditions of this study no clear trends were observed for effective density with relative humidity, age, or aerodynamic diameter.
