Abstract

The main objective of the work is to determine performance efficiency of wet scrubber by changing the inlet width and height while maintaining the optimum ratio from 0. 5 to 0. 7. The flow pattern has been investigated computationally using Reynolds stress turbulence model. This method is designed to handle static pressure, volume fraction and velocity. Nevertheless, comparison also shows a good argument between theoretical prediction and numerical simulation.
