This study investigates the rate and uniformity of cadmium telluride (CdTe) deposition in an impinging jet reactor through numerical simulations. The primary objective was to model the parabolic inlet profile of the impinging jet and compare the results with an existing series solution. Using a computational approach, simulations were conducted at various nozzle heights, revealing a 1% agreement with the series solution for heights of 0.5 radii and above, while discrepancies of several percent were noted for heights below 0.375 radii due to convergence issues in the series solution. The simulations accounted for thermal gradients and the specifics of the reactor setup, focusing on mass-transfer-limited deposition profiles derived from experimental data. Notably, the model simulations aligned with the experimental profiles when concentrations at the bubbler outlets were adjusted to a quarter of the saturation values, highlighting the importance of accurately assessing the reactant inventory. Additionally, this work contributed to a deeper understanding of transport phenomena in impinging jet reactors, potentially guiding future improvements in CdTe deposition techniques.
