Abstract


A mathematical model is proposed for calculating the parameters of cyclone separators used as the purification stage of the generator gas. The model describes the interaction of the discrete phase with the gas flow, allowing to determine the cleaning efficiency depending on the geometry of the separator, the parameters of the solid fraction and gas flow rates. The separator model providing the smallest pressure drop at high cleaning efficiency is considered. The obtained results are confirmed experimentally, the error was less than 5%.
