Abstract:
... In this paper we report on the development of a downward outlet cyclone separator suitable for use as a primary device for pyrolysis gas-coke separation in pulverized coal pyrolysis processes. The downward outlet cyclone separator consists of cylindrical shell that is joined by a cone, to which a downward exhaust pipe is connected. The characteristics of the pyrolysis coke separator were numerical ...

Abstract:
... Aerosol samplers are generally classified into particulate matter (PM₂.₅ or PM₁₀) and total suspended particle (TSP) samplers. As changing the cutoff size is cumbersome, it necessitates either replacing the particle size separator or adjusting the sampling flow rate. In this study, a novel high-volume aerosol-sampling inlet with an adjustable cutoff size was developed. Its performance was evaluate ...

Abstract:
... A separator coupling cyclone with built-in granular bed filter was proposed for gas purification. By analyzing available data in published literature and experimental results, a new model for predicting the separation performance of the coupled separator was obtained by regressing against a broad range of parameter governing the dusts collection in the coupled separator. In particular, the mutual ...
... The study of the particle movement in cyclone has been expanded from revolution to high-speed self-rotation, and produced a series of new technologies and new applications. However, the spatial rules and regulation methods of particle high-speed self-rotation in cyclones are yet to be studied. In this study, four kinds of inlet particle pre-self-rotation cyclones were designed, and the effect of t ...

Abstract:
... The separation technology of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is a key step to achieve high efficient carbon capture and storage targets. In the present study, we propose a new concept to remove CO₂ from the offshore natural gas industry, which utilises the combined effect from nonequilibrium condensation phenomena in the supersonic flow and cyclonic separation process from swirling flows. The feasibility stu ...
... Generally, the square cyclone separator suffers from low separation efficiency. Therefore, a deeper investigation for developing an effective method to enhance this type of cyclone's overall performance is of interest. Although different methods are available, optimizing the vortex finder's shape for enhancing separation efficiency is a low-cost solution. The present study assesses the effect of v ...

Abstract:
... Kitchen wastes can be converted into a gaseous source for the generation of energy rather than being dumped around recklessly which results into environment pollution. Less amount of carbon in the wastes (56%) can lead to a decrease in the amount of carbonaceous gases produced in gasification than that from other energy sources like coal, wood and bagasse. The gasification of kitchen wastes was ca ...

In this study, a numerical simulation using the Eulerian-Lagrangian approach with a one-way coupling method was conducted to evaluate the gas flow field and separation efficiency of the cyclone separators with contracted inlet ducts of different lengths. The simulation results i ...

This paper reports experimental and numerical results obtained in a free-vortex gas-solid separator, in which the classic conical-section of the device is replaced by a larger square chamber, where the vortex is free to evolve. An adjustable vortex-limiting plate is introduced at the cross-section in order to allow the inversion of the coherent structure and guarantee a natural vortex length of th ...
