Abstract: Scrubber systems are air pollution control devices that are used to remove coarse grained particulate matter and gases from industrial exhaust streams. The flow behavior of pollution causing particulate matter and gases mixture is essential for design of a scrubber. It also helps to know the velocity, pressure fields, velocity vectors at the inlet and outlet and thus essential for effective design of the scrubber and its system. For this purpose, computational fluid flow analysis for scrubber is carried out by using commercially available Ansys FLUENT® software. Two different models of scrubber geometry are considered in the analysis, where the location of the inlet pipe is perpendicularly located in model-1 and is tangentially located in model-2. The analysis is carried out for three different inlet velocities 0.32, 0.79 and 1.27 m/s and velocity and pressure fields, and turbulent kinetic energy are obtained accordingly. Maximum velocities of 0.41, 1.077 and 1.636 m/s were obtained from model-1 while model-2 gave maximum velocities as 0.488, 1.299 and 2.11 m/s. The corresponding maximum pressure values are 0.14, 1.050 and 2.1 N/m2 for model-1 and 0.229, 1.636 4.327 N/m2 for model -2 respectively. The corresponding maximum turbulence kinetic energy values of 0.011, 0.074 & 0.192 and 0.018, 0.123 and 0.324 were obtained from model-1and model-2 respectively. From the analysis, it is observed that model with tangential inlet (model - 2) is better in all the aspects for the proper fluid flow inside the scrubber as it results in better separation of the particles from the air.
