Particle Deposition Mechanisms: Mass Diffusion

Particle Diffusion to a Wall

The corresponding deposition velocity, which is defined as flux per unit concentration, then is given by

(16)

Here  is the diffusion boundary layer thickness given as

(17)

The corresponding diffusion force is defined as

(18)

 The total number of particles that is deposited in an interval dt is given as

(19)

The total number of particles that are deposited per unit area in the time interval 0 to t may be obtained by integrating Equation (19). Thus,
