Filtration of Cigarette Smoke: Relative Contributions of Inertial Impaction, Diffusional Deposition, and Direct Interception

The results of this analysis suggest that a filter geometry which will allow smoke to pass at a Iower than normal velocity is desirable to improve filter efficiency. This improved efficiency is due to the major contribution of the diffusion mechanism and the insignificant contribution of the impacti...
