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