Abstract
It is considered to be possible to establish the simplified method to predict the capture efficiency of cooking hood for heat and pollutants from a cooking stove, if the characteristics of buoyant plume and exhaust flow into hood are known The laboratory tests, measuring the upward velocity, air temperature and concentration of carbon dioxide of plume above the gas cooking stove with the pan with boiled water, therefore, are carried out to simulate the characteristics of buoyant plume In results, it is made clear that the distribution of the velocity and temperature can be expressed by Gaussian profiles, and the calculating charts to predict the velocities and temperatures of the plume are presented in this paper.
