CFD Analysis for a thermal plant chimney system

Abstract

Thermal power plants have been designed and developed due to the
growing energy needs of human communities, as electric energy generation
solutions based on fossil fuel combustion. Due to the large emissions of
carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere, these plants are less and less
used today, being gradually replaced by more environmentally friendly
solutions. This paper presents a model of a thermal system evacuation
system that is analyzed using the ANSYS CFX program in order to
highlight the atmospheric discharge of smoke produced by combustion. The
results are presented in terms of the smoke velocity circulation for each of
the three exhausts of the system as well as current path-lines in the
atmosphere.
