The diffusional deposition of aerosol particles on a single cylinder and on a system of parallel cylinders in a laminar flow normal to their axes has been calculated by means of an electronic computer. The calculations have been performed for small values of dimensionless (referred to the cylinder radius) thickness of the diffusion layer δ, and particle radius ϰ. On the basis of the results of calculations presented in the form of plots and an interpolation equation, it is possible to determine the efficiency of filters consisting of cylindrical parallel fibres in the absence of the inertial and electrostatic effects. Asymptotic equations for the diffusional deposition at δ → 0 and ϰ → 0 have been derived.
