Collecting of finely dispersed particles by means of a separator with the arc-shaped elements

Abstract

This paper includes the description of a separator, developed by the authors for the gas flow purification from the finely dispersed particles. The authors also studied the influence of the separator dimensions and the dusty gas flow rate on the degree of its purification from the finely dispersed particles, as well as on the change in the hydraulic resistance of this apparatus. This paper also shows that the main forces that make the greatest contribution to the purification of the gas flow from the finely dispersed particles are centrifugal and inertial. Moreover, the dependencies of the purification efficiency on the Stokes numbers are shown in this paper. The authors studied the change in the hydraulic resistance coefficient of this apparatus from the Reynolds numbers as well.
