Abstract
Studies indicate that being exposed to cigarette smoke increases the chance of developing lung cancer. Understanding the deposition of carcinogenic particles present in human airway is necessary to understand the development of specific histologic type cancers. In this paper, the mass transfer and deposition of cigarette smoke inside the human airway are investigated by the finite element method. The mass transfer and depositions of four critical cigarette smoke: 1, 3-butadiene, acrolein, acetaldehyde and carbon monoxide (CO), in a total human airway model from mouth to generation B3 under inhalation conditions have been simulated. In this study, concentration distribution in inhalation is evaluated. The model developed for the vapor deposition with volumetric flow rates of 30 and 80 L/min. To this end, we reconstructed a two-dimension model of human airway from the mouth to generation B3 and used the low-Reynolds-number (LRN) k–ω turbulence equation to simulate the mass transfers and deposition fraction.
