Hydrocyclones are devices used in numerous areas of the chemical, food, and mineral industries to separate fine particles. A hydrocyclone with a diameter of d50 mm was modeled using the commercial Simcenter STAR-CCM+13 computational fluid dynamics (C...
The double vortex-finder hydrocyclone formed by a coaxial insertion of an internal vortex-finder with a smaller diameter inside the conventional single vortex-finder used to obtain two kinds of products from the internal and external overflows in one...
Gas pollution in marine lubricating oil systems is harmful to the normal operation of a ship, and is one of the main reasons for the decline of the performance of lubricating oil. In this research, a classic 75 mm hydrocyclone was selected as the oil...
The traditional treatment of waste incineration flue gas is mostly carried out in low temperatures, but there are some problems such as corrosion of the heating surface at high and low temperatures, re-synthesis of dioxins, and low efficiency. Theref...
The paper presents results of numerical simulations and experimental investigations of a cyclone with a square inlet and different dimensions of a vortex finder. Investigations were conducted for five, different cyclone models. The main goal of the r...
The short-circuit flow, which is discharged from the vortex finder without separation, seriously affects the processing efficiency of the hydrocyclone. In this paper, the experimental test and numerical simulation methods are used to study the effect...
Severe erosion occurs in the cone bottom and the joint part between the cone and cylinder of the cyclone separator used in high-pressure natural gas transportation. The main objective of this study is to reveal the mechanism and influencing factors o...
Multiple cyclones working in series are sufficient for heavy separation tasks at the cost of significant energy consumption. The majority of researchers conducting optimization studies on multiple cyclones have attempted to find the best possible com...
Hydrocyclones are widely used for solid–liquid separation, but their performance is highly sensitive to the geometric design. Previous studies often focused on individual structural parameters; however, the combined effects of the vortex finder...
For multi-phase separation, developing high-performance cyclone separators is highly demanded. In this study, different divergent or convergent insertion pipes bFelow the vortex finder are employed to improve the separation performance. The impacts o...
The dynamics of hydrocyclones is complex, because it is a multiphase flow problem that involves interaction between a discrete phase and multiple continuum phases. The performance of hydrocyclones is evaluated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (C...
The present study focuses on performing multi-objective optimization of the cyclone separator geometry to lower the pressure losses and enhance the collection efficiency. For this, six geometrical entities, such as the main body diameter of the cyclo...
