    Cyclone Design and Specification

    Uploaded by

    victor
    The document discusses the design and specification of a cyclone separator. It provides standard dimensions for a conventional cyclone and specifies design parameters like temperature, pressure, and particle size for tomato powder. Calculations are shown for volumetric flow rate, inlet velocity, number of turns, residence time, drift velocity, cut point diameter, pressure drop, power requirement, outlet velocity, and collection efficiency. The cyclone is designed to have over 99.8% efficiency for separating tomato powder particles greater than 50 microns in size.

    CYCLONE DESIGN AND SPECIFICATION

    The general principle of inertia separation is that the particulate-laden gas is forced to change
    direction. As gas changes direction, the inertia of the particles causes them to continue in the
    original direction and be separated from the gas stream. Cyclone is effective for particle diameters,
    Dp > 10μm.

    Cyclones are generally grouped into 3 classes:

    • Conventional or general purpose.

    • medium efficiency or high throughput Dp > 10μm.

    • high efficiency or medium throughput. Dp > 20μm.
