Computer simulation of a Rietema-family hydrocyclone used in irrigated agriculture1

Abstract: -The hydrocyclone is a centrifugal separator that has been used for over 50 years in the chemical processing and mining industries. In irrigated agriculture in Brazil it is not used as often. One reason for this is the poor understanding by designers of the complex phenomena involved in the internal flow of the hydrocyclone, and the lack of knowledge of new computational tools available on the market. This study evaluates the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as a potential tool to be used in the desig… Show more

“…Until recently, the hydrocyclone has been successfully and widely used in mineral industry [17], coal industry [18,19], chemical industry [20], environmental engineering [21], petroleum industry [22], pulp and paper industry [23], food industry [24], biological industry [25], agriculture [26], etc. Although the separation efficiencies, for materials with various different conditions, are significantly different, the separation performances of hydrocyclones in a number of specific industries are extremely outstanding.…”
