“…The experimental studies in section show that the Stefan flow prevails over other particle transport mechanisms and pushes particles away from the evaporating surface. ,,− Meanwhile, the calculation results show that the phoretic force caused by evaporation can significantly enhance the deposition of submicrometer particles in the range of 0.01–1 μm particle size on the evaporating surface in most theoretical studies. Therefore, the particle collection efficiency by theoretical calculation is much higher than the experimental results. ,− ,− ,,,,, We suggest that the inconsistency between the theoretical calculation and the experimental results originates from the defects of the models.…”
