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...

In order to study the effect of dust outlet geometry on the performance of cyclone separators, the gas-solid flow characteristics in four cyclone separators with different dust outlet geometries (without dustbin, with dustbin, with dipleg and with dustbin plus dipleg) have been computationally simulated. The gas flow fields were simulated with Reynolds Stress Model(RSM).The effect of instantane...

Cyclone models have been used without relevant modifications for more than a century. Most of the attention has been focused on finding new methods to improve performance parameters. Recently, some studies were conducted to improve equipment performance by evaluating geometric effects on projects. In this work, the effect of cyclone geometry was studied through the creation of a symmetrical inl...

This paper describes a laboratory-scale study on the use of recirculating cyclones as reaction chambers for dry scrubbing of gaseous HCl with solid slaked lime particles. This gas cleaning system combines a numerically optimized reverse flow gas cyclone (RS_VHE geometry) with a straight-through cyclone concentrator, which simultaneously increases the capture of the solid particles and promotes ...

Accurately predicting future tropical cyclone risk requires understanding the fundamental controls on tropical cyclone dynamics. Here we present an annually-resolved 450-year reconstruction of western Caribbean tropical cyclone activity developed using a new coupled carbon and oxygen isotope ratio technique in an exceptionally well-dated stalagmite from Belize. Western Caribbean tropical cyclon...

. This report summarizes results of a project to character& air toxic emissions of selected hazardous air pollutants (HAPS) from the AirPol Gas Suspension Absorption SO2 control technology. This project was sponsored by AirPol Inc., the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The GSA process utilizes a semi-dry lime scrubber for SO2 and HCI removal. Most of th...

in this study, performance of oil droplet separator in crankcase ventilation system for three engines, ford-ecoboost (impactor with variable area), nissan-vq37de (inertial impactor), and peugeot-xu7 (cyclone) at the same volumetric flow rate has been studied experimentally. because of the complexities of geometrical and functional in internal combustion engines, a test rig is designed to study ...

A numerical analysis of the turbulent and strongly swirling flow field of a uniflow cyclone and its performances is described. The gas flow is obtained by the use of the Reynolds stress model while, the determination of particle flow is ensured by the use of a Stochastic Lagrangian model. The flow features are examined in terms of tangential, axial and radial velocities, pressure drop and separ...
