Ventilation Design for a Chick Incubator Using Computational Fluid Dynamics

Abstract: We used aerodynamic technology to develop a ventilation system for a prototype chick incubator. We used computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the internal airflow and distribution of air within the incubator. We used local mean age (LMA) and local mean residual time (LMR) theory to examine the accuracy of the CFD model and to quantify the ventilation efficiency. The largest CFD error was only -3.5%, proving the reliability of the model for studying the ventilation efficiency of the incubator. We also c… Show more

“…Suitable environmental conditions are essential during the first week of life of chicks, which tend to have high mortality in this period (Lee et al, 2009). This is attributed to the fact that newborn chicks are poikilothermic, due to their not yet developed thermoregulatory mechanisms (Mujahid, 2010).…”

“…Apesar dos custos envolvidos, softwares de CFD são úteis durante a fase de projeto dos aviários. Diversos trabalhos sobre construções rurais e ambiência utilizam esta técnica, como por exemplo, [10,41,42,52,61,69]. Quando os resultados simulados nesses softwares são comparados aos dados reais coletados, observa-se uma precisão adequada dos modelos simulados.…”
