The basic features of aerosol behavior in the CSTR are examined. Solutions are obtained for the steady state aerosol size distribution during simultaneous coagulation, particle growth by vapor condensation and new particle formation by nucleation. Explicit distributions are shown for the case of a monodisperse feed aerosol.
