Cyclones are devices used to separate two or more phases from a mixture. In this research, the effects of five cyclone inlet parameters including inlet height and width, outlet diameter, total height and cyclone body height on two outlet parameters including pressure drop and cut-of diameter have been investigated through regression equation and Sobel statistical analysis. The results showed that inlet width with 40%, inlet height with 36% and outlet diameter with 24% had the greatest effect on the pressure drop, respectively, and the total height and height of the cyclone body had no effect on the pressure drop. On the other hand, inlet width with 40%, inlet height with 38%, cyclone total height with 12% and cyclone body height with 10% respectively had the greatest effect on the cut-of diameter, and the cyclone outlet diameter had no effect on the cut-off diameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
