PROBLEM DEFINITION

This problem examines the flow of a silicon nanoparticle carrier gas within a chamber that contains a silicon wafer. The top walls are heated, and the wafer is kept at a cold temperature. As the particles flow over the wafer, they are deposited on it because of thermophoresis. The geometry is shown below:
