چکیده

Four cyclone concentrators were designed and fabricated to compare their particle separation and concentration behavior, such as the major, minor, outlet, and wall deposition fractions. Two of the cyclone concentrators were the conventional type, with the minor flow tube connected to the particle outlet at the bottom of the cyclone. The others were modified cyclone concentrators with a gap between the particle outlet at the bottom of the cyclone and the minor flow tube. The modified cyclone concentrators had different particle outlet and minor tube diameters, with variable minor tube heights. The particle number fraction of the minor flow for the conventional cyclone concentrator increased and had wider U-shaped curves, in the large particle size range, as the particle outlet diameter increased. In addition, the gap between the particle outlet and minor flow tube of modified cyclone concentrator had an adverse effect on the particle concentration ability of the cyclone concentrator with a small minor tube diameter, in that the wall deposition and particle fraction of the minor flow were increased and decreased, respectively. However, the modified cyclone concentrator with a large minor flow was a better particle concentrator because the gap offered a space for the particles collected on the cyclone wall to gather, preventing the particles from going along the minor flow, especially with high particle concentrations in the inflow.

Computational fluid dynamics simulation of the flow patterns and performance of conventional and dual-cone gas-particle cyclones

One of the main concerns of researchers is the separation of suspended particles in a fluid. Accordingly, the current study numerically investigated the effects of a conical section on the flow pattern of a Stairmand cyclone by simulating single-cone and dual-cone cyclones. A turbulence model was used to analyze incompressible gas-particle flow in the cyclone models, and the Eulerian–Lagrangian...

بررسی عملکرد الکتروسیکلون در جمع آوری ذرات هوابرد زیر یک میکرومتر سیلیس

Background and Objectives: Cyclone is one of the most utilized dust collectors for airborne particles control. It separates particles from airflow by centrifugal force. However, it is not effective in collecting very fine particles smaller than 10 μm in diameter. The aim of this study was to assess the performance of charging particles on cyclone efficiency in collecting particles smaller than ...
