Separation enhancement of conventional and square cyclones through the tailored inlet and vortex finder configurations using different particle characteristics

Key Points

• Separation enhancement occurs with tailored configurations for both conventional and square cyclones, and
• The study finds that modifying the inlet and vortex finder enhances particle separation efficiency, showing increases up to 30% in separation rates.
• Assessing particle characteristics alongside cyclone design improves performance metrics, as observed in various trials.
• Optimizing cyclone design through customized configurations may lead to broader applications in industrial settings.
