A Theory on Pressure Drop of Cyclone Dust Collector : Study on the Cyclone, 5th Report

Abstract

Pressure drop of the cyclone is its important characteristic, and here the pressure drop is defined as the inlet static pressure P_i, when the exit pipe opens to atmosphere. From many experiments of flow patterns in the cyclone, theoretical formulae of pressure drop are obtained, and an approximate formula is also given. Many experiments on pressure drop are done and discussed, and thereby the theory is verified. This theory makes it easy to design a cyclone and to estimate its characteristics.
