Thermophoretic deposition of aerosol particles (particle diameter ranges from 0.038 to 0.498 μm) was measured in a tube (1.18 m long, 0.43 cm inner diameter, stainless steel tube) using monodisperse NaCl test particles under laminar and turbulent flow conditions. In this study, particle deposition efficiencies due to other deposition mechanisms such as electrostatic deposition for particles in Boltzmann charge equilibrium and laminar and turbulent diffusions were carefully assessed so that the deposition due to thermophoresis alone could be measured accurately.
