a) Briefly explain what would happen to solution droplets formed on this 10-16 g ammonium sulphate nucleus in an environment with constant saturation ratio=1.0025. Separately consider 3 droplets with initial radius of i) r = 0.05μm, ii) r = 0.2 µm and iii) r = 1µm. b) The growth of a small solute droplet in an environment at an ambient saturation ratio, S = eles(T) where e is ambient vapour pressure far away from the droplet, is controlled (approximately) by, r dr/dt = [(S-1) - a/r + b/r³]{1, (7.18 from Rogers and Yau) where ₁ (>0) is a growth parameter dependent on T and p and molecular diffusion properties of air. Explain the relationship between this growth equation and the Kohler curve shown above. c) Suppose that the ambient saturation ratio is held at 0.995 and there are two solution droplets containing 10-16g of ammonium sulphate. Droplet A has an initial radius of 0.02 um while droplet B has a radius of 0.2 μm. What happens to each of them. Without attempting detailed calculations speculate on which would you expect to achieve an equilibrium fastest.
