Standard bar of ventilation is the equipment extensively used in the tobacco
industry to calibrate the variety of testing machines. The bar?s performance
that is usually affected by ambient conditions is numerically studied in this
paper. Firstly, the geometry of standard bar is obtained by an optical
microscopic 3-D measurement. Then, Solidworks is used to build the 3-D model
of standard bar and Gambit is used to mesh the model. Finally, the
performance of standard bar under variant ambient conditions is analyzed by
Fluent. Compared with the experimental data, the numerical results are found
to be quite accurate, and it is found that the ventilation rate increases
linearly as temperature rise and decreases non-linearly with the growth of
pressure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
