Vortex finder optimum length in hydrocyclone separation

Modular mini-hydrocyclone desilter type of 30mm: An experimental and optimization study

“…At this point, the ratio / Lv Dc is 0.4, a value that is in agreement with similar studies reported in the literature (Martínez et al, 2008).…”

Influence of Geometric Parameters of the Hydrocyclone and Sand Concentration on the Water/Sand/Heavy-Oil Separation Process: Modeling and Simulation

“…Several studies have been reported in the literature related to the separation process using hydrocyclones: Cullivan et al [5]; Petty and Parks [6]; Simões [7]; Brennan et al [8]; Delgadillo and Rajamani [9]; Sripriya et al [10]; Zhao et al [11]; Farias et al [12]; Martínez et al [13]; Mousavian and Najafi [14]; Wang and Yu [15]; Buriti [16].…”

Effects of Geometrical Parameters on the Pressure Drop for a Modified Cyclone Separator

“…However, the effect of optimizing the vortex finder size on pressure drop was limited. Some studies reported that the vortex finder configuration and size did not play an important role in pressure drop [15][16][17]. Funk et al [18] used heterogeneous particulates to investigate cyclone performance.…”
