Abstracts
In this study, the ventilation system of the enclosed conveyor belt for coal transportation was evaluated, and the particle removal efficiency according to the ventilation conditions was identified using computational fluid dynamics and particle behavior analysis. The most effective way to remove dust generated inside the closed conveyor belt is to adjust the position of the exhaust port of the duct so that the air is exhausted around the rear of the conveyor belt. And this method seems to work for another narrow and long spaces where air enters in one direction. In addition, when the air flow rate of the each duct was less than 300 CMM, it was efficient to increase the flow rate of the duct located at the rear of the conveyor belt, and when the flow rate of the each duct was higher than 300 CMM, it was efficient to increase the flow rate of the duct located at the front of the conveyor belt.
