Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on an inclined susceptor: a case-study problem. An important application of convective mass transfer theory is in CVD processes employed to coat surfaces with thin films of metals or semi-conductors. In fact, this turns out to be an example of simultaneous heat and mass transfer with chemical reaction. A flat plate is used as a susceptor to deposit a material for a semi-conductor application. The inclination of the plate is θto the horizontal. The flow will then b
