Recirculation
The rate of contaminant recirculation is:

( QR Q F ) C QR C

The rate of dust recirculation is:

(QR Q F )(DR) Q R ( DR)

The rate of addition of dust at the face is D so that the entrance rate of
dust into the exhaust duct is:

Q R (DR)
Q R ( DR )
( DR ) + D=

QF
The highest dust concentration in the system is in the air entering the
exhaust duct end and is given by:

(DR) R

QR

Where,
QR, volume flow rate of air handled by exhause fan.
Qf, volume flow rate of air at the end of forcing duct.
C, rate of make of contaminant in the heading
D, rete of make of dust in the heading
R, rate of dust collection
