Cyclones are one of the most used equipment for gas cleaning. These devices are widely used because of their simple construction, low energy requirements and their ability to work with high temperature and pressure levels. In this work, a flow visualization of a cyclone separation system is carried out. For that purpose, smoke particles and a laser beam were used to show the flow patterns within the separation system. The objective of this work is to visualize the flow within a cyclone separation system to elucidate the effect of the flow patterns in the gas-particle separation and the optimization of the cyclone.
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.
