    Particle Size Distribution: 1. Calculating The Diameter of The Cyclone

    Uploaded by

    Naduni Ranasinghe
    This document discusses the design and calculations for a cyclone separator. It calculates the diameter, dimensions, inlet gas velocity, pressure drop, core length, fractional efficiency, and outlet dust concentration of the cyclone based on given parameters like flow rate, temperature, dust loading, particle size distribution. It determines that the calculated outlet dust concentration is less than the expected value, showing the cyclone is suitable for the required separation.
