Abstract:
The effect of adding extra inlet channels on the operation of the Stairmand Cyclone has been investigated numerically. The Reynolds stress model (RSM) and Eulerian-Lagrangian method were used to investigate the complex turbulent flow and cyclone performance. The impacts of one-way coupling and two-way coupling models on the cyclone efficiency and the calculation of cut-off size diameter were examined. The results showed that a rise in channel number increases the tangential velocity and extends the Rankine vortex region. Moreover, in the four-inlet cyclone, the direction of flow changes unlike the one-inlet and two-inlet cyclones, and it behaves like a jet flow. According to the results, the collection efficiency and cut-off size diameter of the four-inlet cyclone are respectively about 10.78% higher and 35% lower than those of one-inlet configuration. Therefore, the performance of four-inlet cyclone is the highest among the three investigated configurations due to high tangential and axial velocities. A cyclone with more inlets has a more symmetrical flow pattern. Consequently, the four-inlet cyclone has the lowest flux of erosion among the others. The results of cyclone performance reveal a slight difference between one-way coupling and two-way coupling models.
