N2  - Hydraulically and thermally developing laminar flow induced dust deposition on a flatplate is of practical and fundamental interest with isothermal/non-isothermal and heat flux boundary  conditions.  The  analysis  of transport and  deposition of  an  isolated  inelastic  dust particle  of  different  size  and  shape  are  presented  in  this  thesis,  which  is  organized  as follows:The  first  chapter  deals  with the analysisofasteady,incompressible,two-dimensional,laminar,Newtonian fluid flow over an inclined flat plate. The reduced formsof momentum and  continuity  equations  usingboundary  layer  approximation are solved  using  the  fourth order  Runge-Kutta  numerical schemeintegrated  with the shooting  method.  The  calculated velocity  profiles  at the differentangleof  inclinationserveasthe  input  to heat  transfer analysis.  The  second  chapter  deals  with  the  solution  of  simplifiedenergy  equation  with boundary  layer  approximation  for  the  considered  flow  over  an  inclined  flat  plate  using  a constant  heat  flux  or constant/variable  wall  temperature boundary  conditionsalong  the length.  The non-dimensional  temperature  distribution  alongthelength  of  aninclined  plate at differentangle of inclination isobtained. These velocity and temperature profiles are used for analyzing the particle trajectory over an inclined flat plate. In the third chapter, the one-way  coupling  of Eulerianand  Lagrangianapproaches arepresented  and  the  effects  of different  Stokes  number,  particleshape/size, andheating  condition  are  analyzed  on  the transport  and  deposition  of  aninelastic particle  on  the  inclined  plate.  The  trajectory  is computed  with  MATLAB  using the external  forces  namelydrag, shear-inducedlift, bodyand  in  addition  thethermophoreticforcedue  to the temperature  gradient.  The  developed tool will behelpful in analyzinga problem, for instance, dust deposition over a photovoltaic panel or a heliostat,for mitigating its effect on the system efficiency.Key-words:Laminar fluid flow,Eulerian and Lagrangian approach,Runge-Kutta numerical scheme,Dustdeposition
