In Cyclone Particulate Separation Is Due to?

Particles are separated to the internal wall of cyclone due to the centrifugal force and are collected in the dust collector located below the cyclone.

Which force is used in cyclone separator for size separation of particles?

In centrifugal or cyclone separators, centrifugal forces act on a droplet at a force several times greater than gravity, as it enters a cylindrical separator (Fig. 5.3). This centrifugal force can range from 5 times gravity in large, low velocity unit to 2000 times gravity in small, high pressure units.

What is separation factor in cyclone separator?

The separation factor of a cyclone is defined as the ratio of centrifugal to gravitational forces: In most cyclones the particles being separated are small enough that Stokes' Law can be used to determine the drag force.
