A numerical study on the characteristics of flow field, temperature and concentration distribution according to changing the shape of separation plate of kitchen hood system

摘要

This study aims deriving analysis the flow characteristic of kitchen hood system with using 3D numerical analysis method and improving the system to expel pollutes more efficiently. To understand the flow characteristics of four models, this study only focuses on velocity field, temperature field, and concentration field varying with followings whether separation plate is set or not and the shapes of separation plates. The quantity of air, speed of exhaust fan and temperature and concentration of heating source are concerned as constant values. The three models having different shapes have one exhaust port and the model which has the vent at the closest position to where pollutes are generated is discovered to be the most efficient model. Compare to the initial model (having no separation plate), it was 1.4-1.9% more efficient at temperature distribution and 9.4-11.9% more at CO_2 concentration distribution.
