Simulation of Transmission Efficiency for Different Bending Radius of Aerosol Sampling Inlet

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of the paper is to simulate transmission efficiency for different bending radius of aerosol sampling inlet using CFD. To evaluate the transmission efficiency, we introduced Discrete Phase Model to simulate aerosol movement. Results from simulations show that the greater transmission efficiency aerosol sampling inlet will be, the larger bending radius is. At 300mm bending radius, aerosol transmission efficiency is almost 1 for 10μm diameter of particular matter. The CFD model can effectively simulate the characteristic and loss of aerosol particulate matters through the bending tube.
