The perturbation method is used in solving the equations. The results show that the particle transport patterns are similar and independent of the particle size and other parameters when suspended nanoparticles flow in a straight tube. At the outside edge, particle deposition is the most intensive, while deposition at the inside edge is the weakest. In the upper and lower parts of the tube, depositions are approximately the same for different Schmidt numbers. Curvatures of tube, Reynolds number, and Schmidt number have second-order, forth-order, and first-order effects on the relative deposition efficiency, respectively.展开更多
