This research aims to enhance the design of a supersonic separator to improve gas dehydration efficiency.
Optimized nozzle wall geometry and swirler configuration using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Conducted structural optimization in three steps: wall profile refinement, evaluating convergent/divergent lengths, and selecting diffuser outlet profile.
Built and tested a laboratory-scale prototype with the optimized design under various conditions.
Achieved a maximum collection efficiency of 83% with the angular injection design compared to 79% for the vane swirler.
Lowered minimum gas temperatures to below 214 K through effective cooling performance.
Experimental results validated CFD predictions and confirmed high efficiencies.
