Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Slow condensed phase diffusion in organic aerosol particles can impede many chemical and physical processes associated with atmospheric aerosol (e.g., gas-particle equilibrium partitioning). The characteristic times associated with these high viscosity particles are typically modelled using a concentration-dependent diffusivity within a purely Fickian framework. In that model, the medium in which diffusion is taking place is treated as being inviscid as far as mass transport is concerned. In this report, we investigate the validity of assuming that the viscosity is equal to zero by using a transport model that includes viscous pressure gradients. It is found that the effect of viscosity is negligible for particles with radii that are larger than 100 nm, but below that radius, it can delay water uptake and loss by orders of magnitude for physically realistic viscosities. However, if the Stokes–Einstein relation is obeyed, then viscosity can be ignored, even for nanosized particles. In addition to numerical calculations, a dimensionless Deborah number is defined that indicates the significance of Fickian diffusion compared with the rheological response during water transport.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
