Question
Q/ Calculate the overall separation efficiency if the particle size distribution of
dust fed to the cyclone is given by:
|Average size
% by weight
Dp (um) 15
5 10
10
50
100 150
20
30
20 15
Note:
Gas viscosity= 1.8× 10-5 Pa.s
Density of the particle =1600 Kg/ m3
Effective number of turns within cyclone=D6
Flow rate of gas stream 150 m/min
Cyclone diameter, D= 1 m
Width of inlet, W/D=0.25, Height of inlet H/D=0.5
