Popis: Discrete and continual versions of the rate equation for the size distribution function of primary aerosol particles were formulated. With the CsI aerosol as example, it was shown that coarsening of primary aerosol particles can be described in terms of both discrete and continual models. This conclusion is based on the results of experiments performed by the procedure that makes it possible to reveal primary particles against the background of their aggregates, ensures complete transfer of primary particles from the aerosol volume to the collector, and allows determination of their size on the collector by electron microscopy. Under the examined conditions, the size distribution of primary particles is described by an exponential function.
