Numerical Study of Gas-solid Flow in a Cyclone Separator

چکیده
This paper presents a numerical study of the gas-powder flow in a typical Lapple cyclone. The gas flow is obtained by the use of the Reynolds stress model. The resulting pressure and flow fields are verified by comparison with the measured results and then used in the determination of powder flow that is simulated by the use of a Stochastic Lagrangian model. The separation efficiency and trajectories of particles from the simulation are shown to be comparable to those observed experimentally. The effects of particle size and gas velocity on the separation efficiency are quantified and the results are shown to agree well with experiments.

CFD Study and Energy Optimization of Industrial Double-Cyclone in HDPE Drying Process
In this paper, a double-cyclone is used as a gas-solid separator in the fluid bed-drying process to prepare dry HDPE powder from a wet feed of 56000 kg/hr. The quality of dry HDPE depends mainly on particles behavior and flow pattern in the dryer which affect the double-cyclones as an effective equipment in this process. Controlling of the inlet carrier gas causes excellent flow pattern, desire...
