This study investigates the effect of air inlet size on (i) the flowfield generated in a dry powder inhaler, and (ii) the device-specific resistance, and the subsequent effect on powder deagglomeration. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to simulate the flowfield generated in an Ae
The influence of processing on the performance of carrier material used in dry powder inhalers was investigated. a-Lactose monohydrate crystals were processed by ball milling for cumulative time durations and their properties evaluated. As expected, milling reduced the median particle diameter while
This study investigates (1) the effect of modifying the design of a dry powder inhaler on the device performance, and (2) which design features significantly contribute to overall inhaler performance. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis was performed to determine how the flowfield generated
