Abstract
In the present paper, we introduce an experimental technique for evaluating the equivalent aerodynamic diameter dae of non-spherical aerosol particles upon their sedimentation in a gravity field within the Reynolds-number range from 0.1 to 6.0. A description of the sedimentometer is given, and aerodynamic diameters dae of plexiglass powder particles measured on this sedimentometer are reported.
