A theoretical study on the agglomeration kernel of bipolar charged particles in external fields is presented order to investigate particle under combined effects a direct-current (DC) electric field and an acoustic field, while taking into consideration collision efficiency. Three kernels are considered our model, namely Coulomb agglomeration, agglomeration. The model performance validated by comparing its predictions with available exact solutions peculiar cases. Our results indicate that efficiency increases when applied simultaneously field. size total formed three processes listed above intensity sound pressure level (SPL). Based this which includes efficiency, both increase rapidly as nucleus increases, eventually approaching saturation for large diameters. On other hand, decreases frequency within investigated range. different relative dielectric constants, such fly ash particles, solid carbon water droplets, well.
