Abstract

At the present is still paid a lot of attention to particulate matter, because these particles have negative effect to environment and also they are harmful to human health. It is a reason why we must reduce their concentration in the atmosphere. They are getting into atmosphere from various mobile, as well as stationary sources including combustion. They can cause everything from minor pain to deadly diseases, for example asthma, premature birth, infant mortality, heart disease, respiratory illness, lung cancer or premature death. We can reduce them during the combustion process by many ways, such as optimizing the flue gases flowing or using separators. This article deals with capturing particulate matter by using baffles placed in the flue gas tract of heat source. It observes flowing of particulate matter through two, three and four baffles by using CFD simulations and then it compares their effect. CFD uses numerical analysis and data structures to solve and analyse problems that involve fluid flows.
