APPLICATION OF LOCAL EXHAUST SYSTEMS TO REDUCE POLLUTION CONCENTRATION NEAR THE ROAD
Abstract
In this study, the methodological foundations of the technology for the local reduction of chemical pollution from vehicles were improvedthrough the use of two-level suction units and guide plates of various lengths installed on the nozzles of the suction devices. A program has been developed for the numerical calculation of the carbon monoxide concentration field for evaluating the efficiency of using two-level exhaust systems with different lengths of guide plates on the gas flow selection pipes. The solution of the equations of hydrodynamics and mass transfer is carried out on the basis of finite-difference methods. A number of physical and computational experiments have been carried out; it has been established that the concentration of carbon monoxide in the zone of two-level suctions location decreases by 46-68%.
