Evaluates the transfer function for particle mass analyzers, including the centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM).------------The attached MATLAB functions and scripts are intended to reproduce the results of the associated paper (submitted). They evaluate the transfer function of particle mass analyzers (PMAs), including the centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and aerosol particle mass analyzer (APM). This is done using a novel set of expressions derived from particle tracking methods and using a finite difference method. Information on each file is given as header information in each file, and only a brief overview is provided here.Code description and componentsFunctions to evaluate transfer functions (tfer_.m)The core of this program is a set of functions evaluating the transfer function for the various cases presented in the associated work, that is the functions featuring the names tfer_.m. The file names feature case letters, corresponding to different assumptions about the particle migration velocity and flow conditions discussed in the associated work, as well as diff and pb suffixes for those transfer function that include diffusion and assume parabolic axial flow conditions, respectively.The functions share common inputs:m_star - the setpoint mass,m - the masses at which the transfer function will be evaluated,d - the mobility diameter (either as a scalar or as a vector with the same length as the masses at which the transfer function is to be evaluated),z - the integer charge state (either as a scalar or as a vector with the same length as the masses at which the transfer function is to be evaluated),prop - a struct that contains the properties of the particle mass analyzer (a sample script to generate this quantity is include as prop_PMA.m), andvarargin (optional) - name-value pairs to specify either the equivalent resolution, inner electrode angular speed, or voltage.The functions also often share common outputs:Lambda - the transfer function, andG0 - the mapping function, transforming a finial radius to the corresponding position of the particle at the inlet.Note that in these functions, there is a reference to the function (get_setpoint.m). This function parses the inputs d and z and then evaluates the setpoint and related properties, including C0, alpha, and beta.Demonstration script (main.m)This script is included to demonstrate evaluation of the transfer function over multiple cases. Figure 2 that is produced by this procedure will resemble those given in the associated work.Other scripts, main_*.m are intended to replicate figures in other works and to consider multiple charging.Remaining functionsThe remaining functions help in transfer function evaluation, with the details provided in each file.------------LicenseThis software is licensed under an MIT license (see the corresponding file for details).ContactThis program was written by Timothy A.
