Short summary
The paper presents a model for the atomization and evaporation of a stream of solvents containing less volatile analytes through a system, designed to detect the final dried particles using elastic scatter, called elastic light scatter detector. The results of simulations of the total particle concentrations, as well as the final light scattered signals, are compared to experiments for validation. This is the first set of simulations of this detection device.
