Mathematical models predicting the aerosol deposition in the respiratory tract are reviewed. Data in the literature indicated not only that the air flow in the trachea and major bronchi may not be laminar, but also that the entrance effect of the tube or airway has not been considered. A new approac
## Abstract The fate of inhaled diesel particles was determined in male Fischer 344 rats using radioactive tracers of ^131^Ba and ^14^C. Test animals were exposed in a βnoseβonlyβ inhalation chamber for 40β45 min to diluted diesel exhaust generated from diesel engines burning type 2D diesel fuel co
## Abstract To study the role of particle size of benzo (a) pyrene (BP) in the induction of respiratory tract tumours, goups of hamsters were given 52 weekly intratracheal instillations of fine (77% < 5.2 ΞΌm; 3% < 1.3 ΞΌan) or coarse (77 y 42 ΞΌm; 0% < 10 ΞΌm) BP particles suspended in gelatinβ0.9% Na
The objective of the paper is to present a statistical model for predicting transport and deposition of high-inertia colliding particles in two-phase turbulent Β―ows. This model is based on a kinetic equation for the probability density function (PDF) of the particle velocity distribution in a turbul
