pages 917 - 920, full text

This study analyses the effect of the shape of the vortex finder on separation efficiency and pressure drop in low-stage cyclones used for clinker burning. The CFD method was applied. The RANS and RSM models were used to simulate turbulent flow. Six variants of cylindrical and conical vortex finders were analysed. The results indicate that in the case of low-stage cyclones (where separation efficiency is not the main objective function) it is reasonable to use a cylindrical vortex finder.
