objective(s) and scope(s) of thesis

All combustion sources, such as motor vehicle, industrial combustion processes, burning, cooking, heating, and tobacco smoking, generate large quantities of fine (aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 micron) and ultra-fine (smaller than 0.1 micron) particles. Smaller particles can penetrate deeper into human respiratory tract and therefore have a higher potential to induce health effects than larger particles.

Scope (s) and Objective(s) of Thesis Work
1. CFD Simulation of aerosol concentration in a current RSC.
2. Experimental measurements of source concentration and ambient concentration in the cooperative.
3. CFD Simulation to improve airflow in the cooperative.
4. Experimental measurements to verify the model.

And the Objective of the Research work are:
To study aerosol concentration in a RSC.
To improve air flow in the cooperative to lessen risk of workers’ exposure to a large portion of smoke aerosol particles.

The research start with finding model that represent aerosol particles transport in the cooperative from source of concentration. FLUENT CFD package with GAMBIT will be used, to perform simulation of airflow in the current smoking cooperative. It will be used to improve the airflow to lessen the risk of workers’ exposure to smoke particle. Experimental verification will be performed.
