CFD simulation for designing a chlorine gaseous sanitizer treatment system

A 3D numerical model using COMSOL software was developed to simulate the profile of ClO2 gas concentration and bacterial inactivation in treatment chambers with different gas inlets and outlets. The multiphysics simulation based on a finite element method (FEM) included compressible flow, convection and diffusion, and especially, pathogen inactivation codes using Java language were embedded into the program. Finally, each component of the model...
