| Abstract | ||||
| The particle collection venturi performance is achieved at the expense of pressure drop through it. The accurate prediction of pressure drop and collection efficiency is vital to the optimum design of these systems to achieved required environmental standards. Per'formance of venturi scrubbers has been investigated theoretically and expressed in terms of pressure drop and collection efficiency. The theoretical model comprises simultaneous differential equations for particle concentration, droplet motion and momentum exchange. Also in this model the collection efficiency is predicted based on the inertial impaction, diffusion and interception mechanisms. Pressure drop and collection efficiency predictions of this model and previous models are compared with published experimental data. The results show that the present model have been validated against previously published experimental data and gives significantly improved predictions compared with the previous models. | ||||
