Understanding the behavior of entities is critical to the development of new\npolicies and technologies aiming at global health and wellbeing; this paper\npresents a unified model developed and validated for the deposition of\nentities, ranging from a few Angstroms to tens of nanometers,on nanofibers. The\ntransport of entities is based on convective diffusion and interfacial\ninteractive diffusion. As the size of entities decreases to intermediate sizes\n- between gas molecules and nanoparticles - adhesion probability on the surface\nis less than unity, which is determined by the interfacial interactions and\nkinetics of adhesion. Dimensionless surface coverage provides a better\nunderstanding of adhesion kinetic by considering the effects of initial\nconcentration and time. The model is validated by available experimental data\nin the literature.\n
