abstract = {In this contribution, we develop a model that describes
light extinction in the presence of arbitrary aerosols. In
doing so, we take advantage of the fact that during
measurements with the ELPI+-system, aerosol particles of any
shape are internally mapped to spherical surrogates. The
developed model is particularly simple and depends on only a
few parameters, namely on densities and refractive indices
of the measured aerosol particles. As proof of principle,
the model is in first applications used to determine
extinction coefficients and mass-specific extinction for an
infrared light source with a peak wave length of 880 nm.
Detailed studies concentrate on two aerosols exemplary for
characteristic values of the input parameters: a paraffin
aerosol in a bench-scale setup and soot from a flaming
n-heptane fire in a room-scale setup (test fire TF5
according to EN54). As main results, we find values for
mass-specific extinction that are different in the
considered cases. Moreover, obtained results differ in part
more than a factor of three from literature values typically
used in practical applications. We explicitly assess reasons
for deviations found and finally propose a simple way how
future light-extinction studies can be performed
comparatively easily using the ELPI+-system.},
