In order to clarify the influence of feed rate on a hydrocyclone flow field, numerical simulation was employed model pressure velocity air column, turbulent kinetic energy, and split ratio. The results revealed that static pressure, tangential velocity, radial increased with an increase in rate. When at inlet increases from 1 m/s 5 m/s, 5.49 kPa 182.78 kPa, 1.97 11.16 0.20 1.16 demonstrating hi...

Among the all parameters affecting the performance of a downhole de-oiling hydrocyclone, the investigation of internal flow field deserves more attempts especially in the petroleum industry. In this study, the effects of inlet flow rate, inlet oil volume fraction, and oil droplet diameter on the separation efficiency and pressure drop ratio have been investigated along the hydrocyclone body. Al...

Wastewater is an inevitable product in industry. How to remove fine particles and enhance the impurity removal efficiency of wastewater purification equipment has always remained a hotspot issue. In this study, novel hydrocylone with bi-symmetrical involue inlet, thick-wall overflow pipes conical segment structure was designed compared other hydrocyclones including different structures inlets, ...

The efficiency of grinding and flotation process in copper-molybdenum processing circuit, largely affected by performance thickeners hydrocyclones devices. goal this paper is to investigate the effect rate-limiting factors on these devices consequently separation molybdenum circuit. So, a full mineralogical study have been carried out outputs hydrocyclone molybdenite According results, coarse-g...

the design and optimization of hydrocyclones using cfd techniques are gaining popularity and the key to a successful simulation lies with the accurate description of the high turbulent swirling behavior of the flow. this paper presents a detailed comparison between the omega rsm and the rng k–e turbulence model, which are both derived specially for modeling swirling or rotational flow, in the s...

Pretreatment of reverse osmosis (RO) feed water high mineral scaling propensity was evaluated with respect to downstream RO membrane scaling, for two different pretreatment configurations. The schemes included (i) media sand filtration, followed by a hydrocyclone (HC) and (ii) hydrocyclone, microfilter, UF module, where both configurations mesh screens added protection. first configuration redu...
