AB  - Incineration of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an important alternative 
      way for disposal of this type of hazardous waste. PCBs are very stable compounds 
      and do not decompose readily. Individuals can be exposed to PCBs through several 
      ways and damaged by their effects. A well design of a waste incinerator will 
      convert these components to unharmfull materials. In this paper we have studied 
      the design parameters of an incinerator with numerical approaches. The CFD 
      software Fluent 6.3 is used for modelling of an incinerator. The effects of 
      several baffles inside the incinerator on flow distribution and heat is 
      investigated. The results show that baffles can reduce eddy flows, increase 
      retaining times, and efficiencies. The baffles reduced cool areas and increased 
      efficiencies of heat as maximum temperature in two and three baffle embedded 
      incinerator were 100 and 200  degrees C higher than the non-baffle case, respectively. 
      Also the gas emission leaves the incinerator with a lower speed across a longer 
      path and the turbulent flow in the incinerator is stronger.
