Abstract :
A novel mechanical airborne filter to check the concentration gradient of airborne particles is discussed in this article. The system proposed here is experimented to detect the airborne microbes and its concentration analysed with the Chemical based Chromatography test. The proposed system which uses Silicon derivative material for the design of filter frame and an polymer material is coated over it. The polymerized coating is carried out to avoid the rapid oxidation of frame work. The system is equipped with the Contraction chamber and also the vacuum chamber equipped with chemical solvents. The entire Computational modelling carried out with Comsol multiphysics tool.
