Aerodynamic adsorption of permeable chemical protective suit.
A new laboratory apparatus and method were developed to test the protective ability of a permeable chemical protective suit (PCPS). The key features of this method are using a wind tunnel system and an aerodynamic model that could incorporate the complicated flow pattern around the protective clothing. This method illustrates the process of the PCPS system performance and can provide a system assessment through bench-scale experiments. A new aerodynamic adsorption equation for PCPS breakthrough curve calculation based on an aerodynamic model has been suggested, and the calculated breakthrough curves of benzene vapor on PCPS conform to the experiment curves.
