Abstract

A simple approach for evaluating the effect of wall suction and thermophoresis on aerosol particle deposition from a laminar flow over a flat plate is proposed. The plate considered is a cold surface. The procedure is based on the concept of high-mass transfer with a blowing parameter. The thermophoresis is treated with two parts that include a suction-like convection term and a first-order reaction-like term. The results are easily calculated and have a very good agreement with the numerical solutions for self-similar boundary flow.

    Thermophoresis, the motion of suspended particles in a fluid induced by a temperature gradient, is of practical importance in a variety of industrial and engineering applications such as design of thermal precipitators, study on the behavior of soot or seeding particles in combustion systems, nuclear reactor safety, gas cleaning, chemical or physical vapor deposition and microcontamination control, etc. Due to the practical importance of thermophoresis phenomenon many researchers (Goren [12], Talbot et al. [13], Mills et al. [14], Jia et al. [15], Chiou and Cleaver [16], Tsai [17], Postelnicu [18] and the references therein) have studied and reported results on this topic considering various flow conditions in different geometries. Alam et al. [19–21] studied thermophoretic particle deposition on two dimensional hydromagnetic heat and mass transfer flow over an inclined flat plate with various flow conditions.
