Parametric and General Evaluation of Mathematical Models Used for Critical Diameter Determination in Cyclone Separators

Cyclone separators are used in multi-phase flows for phase separation or classification. Pressure drop and efficiency essential parameters determining the performance of a cyclone separator, critical diameter is an important parameter related to efficiency. In this study, we investigate prediction ability various mathematical models; particular, approximately 400 experimental data available literature, reflecting different geometries operating parameters, selected models. These calculated using ten models among most widely which operate based on principles, associated values determined. then compared with those obtained studies. As result, there many affecting separators. The fact that some these not can lower accuracy model, depending context. For reason, give better results analyzed detail. According results, users choose model more appropriately. addition, absolute evaluation provided, demonstrating provide ideas regarding performance.
