today, the cement industry is one of the major air polluting industries in the world. hence, in this study, owing to the importance and role of contaminants from the plant, an appraisal of the emission contributions in addition to other factors have been discussed. there are several reasons behind the importance of modeling air pollutants. first, the assessment of standards for air pollution, a...

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...

The high-speed swirling flow field in the cyclone oil-gas separator will cause the breakup of oil droplets, thus reducing the separation efficiency. In this paper, the performance of an oil-gas cyclone separator was investigated through both numerical simulations and experiments with considering the breakup of oil droplets in oil-gas cyclone separators. The gas flow field was simulated using th...

In the present work two turbulence modeling approaches, namely Large Eddy Simulation and Detached Eddy Simulation, are employed to predict the turbulent, swirling flow within an industrial cyclone separator running at Reynolds number 267,000. The results from three LES models, Smagorinsky, dynamic and Yakhot, and the SST-DES model of Strelets have been compared to experimental results for the a...

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...

We are pleased to submit our white paper report on the Reduced Emission Oxygen (REO) kiln. The document outlines the basic technology and the operational differences between the REO kiln and a conventional cement plant. We trust that you will find the results as exciting as we do and look forward moving this next generation cement technology to market. The REO kiln represents a paradigm shift i...

In this paper the numerical simulation of flow field in the new design dynamic cyclone separator is investigated. The effects of different geometrical parameters such as impeller diameter, number of vanes, length and the location of impeller is investigated. The Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes equations with Reynolds stress turbulence model (RSM) were solved. The Eulerian-Lagrangian computation...
