In this study, a typical kitchen having a standard dimension of 213cm × 243cm × 305cm was modeled with single open door exit. Steady state simulations were performed using three dimensional commercial CFD solver with appropriate boundary conditions. Two heat sources were used for modelling the kitchen that resembles the double burner gas stoves of urban residential kitchen in developing countries. In the earlier works, for the same model the predictions validated at an optimum grid resolution and the results have been presented for thermal comfort, carbon dioxide gas emission under natural, forced and no ventilation cases. The effect of kitchen hood system on the thermal comfort and emission has also been analyzed. In this present work, three different positions of the kitchen hood suction have been studied for the effect on thermal distribution and emission rate. The investigated positions of the kitchen hood are the Front, Top and Bottom with respect to the gas stove. It was observed that both front and bottom hood extraction method significantly reduces the emissions to well below the safe limit. They also can maintain thermal comfort quite well inside the kitchen space.
