| Abstract | ||||
| The effects of cyclone size, inlet velocity, and particle size on the pressure drop across the gas -solids cyclone separator are presented experimentally. The experiments were conducted at four different cyclone sizes Of 7.5,10,14 and 16mm, various particle sizes ranged from 70 to 510~ and various dust loading varied from 50 to 350gram,,li&g,~. The results showed that the pressure drop across the cyclone decreases with increasing the cyclone size and increased considerable with increasing the inlet velocity. The results indicated that the pressure drop is found to increase sharply with increasing the particle size from 75pm to 225~ and then increases gradually with particle size larger than 225~. The study reported very interesting correlation not previously addressed and represents an addition to knowledge which leads to the prediction of the actual pressure drop of dusty air from tests on clean air | ||||
