Description
Summary:This study investigates numerically particulate fouling and its effect on heat transfer for an inclined thick flat plate with volumetric heat generation constrained in a channel. Fouling is considered as the net effect of particle deposition modeled as a first order deposition reaction and shear stress induced deposit erosion modeled using a threshold law. The evolving fluid-deposit interface is captured via a level-set function. The governing equations are solved using a finite volume method. The effect of various important dimensionless parameters: particle Peclet number, Damkholer number, erosion number and dimensionless critical shear stress, are assessed for their impact on the flow, deposit morphology and heat transfer.
