Figure 2. The size dependence of the coagulation sink $\lambda(a)/N_0$ in $\rm cm^2/s$ ($N_0$ is the number concentration of the foreign particles) calculated for the lognormal size distribution with $\sigma=1.46$ and different modal radii. Details are given in Appendix A. The coagulation sink drops down with the radius $a$ of the particle of nucleation mode because the diffusivity of the latter diminishes as the particle radius grows. The larger particles thus live longer than the smaller ones.
