Abstract

The deposition of aerosols near the inlet region of a horizontal parallel channel (for a distance of 7 channel widths) was investigated by solving numerically the governing equations for both the fluid and particulate phases with boundary layer assumptions. Surface adhesion between the channel walls and the aerosol particles along with the gravitational influence was varied. This analysis took into consideration the simultaneous development of both the fluid and particle phases. The deposition for the present analysis for high surface adhesion was found to be greater for X ≥ 2 than the deposition obtained by Ingham for Plug flow who used only the diffusion equation with zero particulate density at the wall. © 1980, All rights reserved.
