| Summary: | air flow characteristics and slot volume flows that were not are less than half open. Further, comparison between the computation realized information on the hood entry losses and computed volume flow rates and published design data was designers and owners of fume hoods. After the specification exercised in maintaining the cell aspect ratio and grid experimental results. The results at lowered sash revealed favorable. finite volume method. In defining the grid, due care was flow field at different sash openings. The results of the fluid dynamics software package. The code is based on the of the problem and generation of the mesh, the modeled hood orthogonality within the recommended limits. The air flow other design parameters that are of interest to the users, patterns at full open sash compared favorably with reported in previously published literature on fume hoods. the air flow field within a standard laboratory fume hood the better performance of fume hoods at sash openings that The purpose of this research was the numerical simulation of These results along with smaller hood entry losses confirmed using the k - 6 turbulence model. The study investigated the was simulated using CFD-ACE TM , a commercial computational |
