L'ordre de grandeur du diamètre médian de l'aérosol résiduel après dessiccation des gouttelettes peut être calculé a priori à partir du diamètre des gouttelettes et de la composition de la solution utilisée. Ce dispositif a permis d'obtenir des aérosols monodispersés de diamètre médian compris entre 1 et 10 [micromètres] (DOP) et entre 0,5 et 10 [micromètres] (NaCl) avec des rendements allant de 5 à 30%. 1, record 1, French, - diam%C3%A8tre%20moyen
