Abstract Hydrocyclones belong to an important group of equipments designed solid–liquid or liquid–liquid separation in a centrifugal field. It is possible adapt hydrocyclone the accomplishment several industrial activities depending on geometrical relations among its main dimensions. The operation and design these devices are relatively simple; however, flow inside them very complex prediction difficult. For that reason, most models used predict performance empirical ones. objective this...
Filtering hydrocyclone is a device that was developed and patented by the Particulate System Research Group at Federal University of Uberlandia. This equipment consists whose conical section replaced filtering wall. Thus, during operation these devices, besides underflow overflow streams, there another stream liquid, resulting from filtrate produced in porous cone. In present work, influence some geometric variables analyzed an experimental CFD study. The were orifice diameter (D U) vortex...
Abstract Studies on hydrocyclones have evolved over recent years and various configurations of this device been proposed in the literature for different purposes. Herein, an innovative geometrical configuration was developed by means response surface technique, combined with optimization algorithm supported a computational fluid dynamics complementary study. The results obtained these techniques were validated experimental data. optimized hydrocyclone is characterized low energy consumption,...
Abstract An innovative hydrocyclone was designed, in which a conical filtering wall replaces the section, producing another liquid stream leaving equipment, besides underflow and overflow streams. The influence of inlet diameter analyzed by an experimental computational fluid dynamics study. Data from conventional hydrocyclones same configurations were also obtained. Under identical operating conditions geometry, presented better performance than device. evaluated, about twofold increase...
The filtering hydrocyclone is a solid-liquid separation device patented by the Chemical Engineering Department at Federal University of Uberlândia, which consists whose conical section was replaced wall. objective this work to compare performances hydrocyclones designed Bradley and Rietema. experimental results obtained with under same operational conditions as those used conventional allow conclusion that performance Rietema types significantly influenced medium. Rietema's had lower...
Hydrocyclones are centrifugal devices used to perform the separation of a discrete phase (solid or liquid) from continuous one. Depending on process goal, particle classification, thickening, it is possible enhance performance these by optimizing their geometric relationships. In this study, innovative relationships for hydrocyclone were proposed maximize efficiency and provide low energy consumption. A database composed 60 hydrocyclones with different dimensions designed over 17 years...
