PIV method as a means of optimization and validation of fluid flow in flue gas path

The production of flue gases and particulate matters also take part in combustion process. Solid particulate matters are dragged into the air with fumes and adversely affect the air quality, environment, human and animal health. Reducing of particulate matter emissions is very important not only for large particle sources but also for small sources that are involved in environmental pollution, too. Those small producers are for example small heat sources. In this paper reduction of particulate matter production in small heat source by modification of the flue gas path by using CFD simulation and PIV method is considered.
