Corrigendum to ‘The role of molecule-surface interaction in thermophoresis of an aerosol particle’ [Journal of Aerosol Science, Volume 128, February 2019, Pages 62–71] (Journal of Aerosol Science (2019) 128 (62–71), (S0021850218302258), (10.1016/j.jaerosci.2018.11.012))

Abstract

Authors regret to inform that a mistake was made in the indicated article when writing the expression (28) for the thermophoretic force. Hence incorrect expressions are obtained for the velocity of thermophoresis (33, 38, 42, 45, 53). Besides this, in the preexponential factor of the expression (47) for the CL-model of scattering kernel [Formula presented] should be changed to [Formula presented]. The expression (28) for the thermophoretic force should be written as follows: [Formula presented] All numerical coefficients in expressions (32), (41), (44) for the thermophoretic force [Formula presented] and (33), (42), (45) for the thermophoretic velocity [Formula presented] should be two times less. The expressions for the thermophoretic force (37) and velocity (38) should be written as follows: [Formula presented] The expressions (52) and (53) are: [Formula presented] [Formula presented] Therefore, it is necessary to correct some of the graphs given in the article. The correct form is: [Formula presented] Fig. 2. For example, at [Formula presented] the maximum excess is 28%. [Figure presented] Fig. 3. At intermediate values of B, the thermophoretic force has a maximum that exceeds by 8% the value of the force with complete accommodation [Figure presented] Fig. 4. The Conclusion section contains an erroneous statement « In the case of the CL-model, when the accommodation parameters are zero, this force is zero».
