A CFD Study on the Prediction of Cyclone Collection Efficiency
Abstract
This work presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics calculation to predict and to evaluate the effects of temperature, operating pressure and inlet velocity on the collection efficiency of gas cyclones. The numerical solutions were carried out using spreadsheet and commercial CFD code FLUENT 6.0. This paper also reviews four empirical models for the prediction of cyclone collection efficiency, namely Lapple [1 Lapple, C. E. 1951. Chem. Eng., 58: 144 [Google Scholar]], Koch and Licht [2 Koch, W. H. and Licht, W. 1977. Chem. Eng., 7: 80 [Google Scholar]], Li and Wang [3 Li, Enliang and Wang, Yingmin. 1989. A.I.Ch.E. J., 35: 666 [Google Scholar]], and Iozia and Leith [4 Iozia, D. L. and Leith, D. 1990. Aerosol Sci. Technol., 12: 598 [CSA][Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]. All the predictions proved to be satisfactory when compared with the presented experimental data. The CFD simulations predict the cyclone cut-off size for all operating conditions with a deviation of 3.7% from the experimental data. Specifically, results obtained from the computer modelling exercise have demonstrated that CFD model is the best method of modelling the cyclones collection efficiency.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
