ABSTRACT

This project concentrates on the simulation of exhaust stack designed with pollutant dispersion.
The plume disperses arround a unit building at power plant with an exhaust stack emission is
most likely affect the safety and health of worker for maintenance works. This study
consequently intends to concentrate on exhaust stack design affected the pollutant dispersion
with wind flows pattern at an isolated cubic building. Simulation is performed in the
OpenFOAM Software. The manipulated variables involved are stack high from the building
rooftop and distance between building and exhaust stack. Domain sizes are picked so that the
simulated structure not influence the flow of air on its boundaries. There are nine cases that
will be experimented in this research which include cases variables and the distance stack with
bulding. Cases variables are the change of stack height, 0.1H, 0.15H, 0.2H while distance stack
with building; 0.1D, 0.15D, 0.2D of stack design at an isolated building. The value of H
represent of height of exhaust stack from rooftop is 1.5m and D represent of distance between
exhaust stack and building is 1m. At the end of the study, the target is to complete the
simulation by OpenFOAM software.
