Abstract:
A computer solution for subsonic, two-dimentional, gas-particle flows is applied to the study of the flow field in an axial-inlet peripheral-discharge cyclone separator. The analysis shows the effect of gas-particle momentum coupling on the gas flow field and a fractional collection efficiency. The results explain the observed increase in overall collection efficiency with increased dust loading.
