1. A few reminders of the kinetic theory of gases
Aerosol particles are suspended in a gas, and some of them are very small, so that, as a result of the impact of molecules on aerosol particles, they are, like the latter, subject to Brownian motion. Under certain conditions, therefore, the laws of gas kinetic theory can be applied to them.
1.1 A medium containing only one type of molecule
We are led to admit three hypotheses:
the molecules are all identical, spherical, and their own volume is very small compared to the volume v of the whole;
their distribution obeys...
