Effect of the Discharging Flap on Particle Separation in a Cyclone

The flow field, pressure drop, and separation efficiency of an industrial cyclone separator were computationally investigated using the Reynolds stress model simulations. effects flapper valve on static cut size, slope grade curve revealed. For that, was simulated in three operation regimes, when is open, closed, without valve. results showed that a increases size by 3.4 % it position “closed” 11.4 “open”. switched to “open” but drop 4.8 “closed”.
