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 lit...

Economic pressures continue to force the petroleum industry to seek less expensive alternatives to conventional gravity based separation. The gas-liquid cylindrical cyclone (GLCC) is a simple, compact, low-cost separator that can provide an economically attractive alternative to conventional separators over a wide range of applications. Although cyclones have long been used for liquid/liquid, s...

A device for the decontamination of large numbers of infected eggs which remain as by-products of vaccine production is described. Homogenates of infected eggs were heated to 60 degrees C and maintained at that temperature for 3 h in a specially constructed recirculation tank. The infectivity of all detectable influenza viruses and more than 99% of the bacteria associated with the homogenates w...
