Week 8 - Simulating Cyclone separator with Discrete Phase Modelling

AIM:- To simulate the flow through a cyclone separator and showing the results for the different particle size and for the different velocities.

we have to run the simulation for the six cases

1).set the velocity constant to 3 m/s and do simulation for the varying size of the particle.

2).set the particle size to constant and simulate for the different velocities.

Geometry:-

Fluid Volume extracted using SpaceClaim is shown below:-

Mesh Details:-

solution approach and solver requirement:-

results:

case(1)

results for the particle size of 1 micron with a velocity of 3m/s

Separation Efficiency in % = (338 / 378) * 100

Separation Efficiency = 89.417

case-2

results for the particle size of 3 micron with a velocity of 3m/s .

Separation Efficiency in % = (68 / 91) * 100

Separation Efficiency = 74.725

case-3

results for the particle size of 5 micron with a velocity of 3m/s .

Separation Efficiency in % = (148 / 378) * 100

Separation Efficiency = 39.153

case(2)

results for the particle size of 5 micron with a velocity of 1m/s .

Separation Efficiency in % = (64 / 91) * 100

Separation Efficiency = 70.329

results for the particle size of 5 micron with a velocity of 3m/s .

Separation Efficiency in % = (133/ 378) * 100

Separation Efficiency = 35.185

results for the particle size of 5 micron with a velocity of 5m/s .

Separation Efficiency in % = (144/ 378) * 100

Separation Efficiency = 38.095
