Abstract
A differential mobility analyzer (DMA) has been widely used as a standard tool for classifying nanoparticles with a certain size. More recently, several new types of DMA have been tested in an attempt to produce size-monodisperse nanoparticles. It is a bit surprise to see how simple the working theory of the DMA is. Although the theory was demonstrated quite successful, no one can guarantee whether the theory still works in another geometry of the DMA. In this regard, we first investigated the validity of the theory under various working conditions and then moved to check the validity upon minor change in its design. For the valid test, we compared the results with those obtained from a computational fluid dynamics.
