Abstract

A protocol for the estimating the efficiencies where more than one collection mechanism is present are examined. Theoretical expressions are obtained for collection with more than one mechanism present simultaneously. A protocol is introduced in which the collection mechanisms are classified into four different categories. This protocol is used to examine two cases: the interaction of locally and globally attraction as in sedimentation and electrostatic attraction and in the case where there is global attraction and a stochastic removal process as is the case for diffusion and sedimentation.
