(18) This generated aerosol droplets with a mass median aerodynamic diameter of 0.8 micron (GSD 1.5) and 98% were less than 3.9 microns.
(19) Even when unlocked, the aerobrake should not have come on until either pilot operated another lever, but one theory is that aerodynamic forces pushed the braking system into position almost immediately.
(20) Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentration in airborne particulate also varies with the aerodynamic diameter of the particles.
Diffuser
Definition:
(n.) One who, or that which, diffuses.
