Effect of Mass Flow Rate of Inlet Gas on Holdup Mass of Solidcyclone Heat Exchanger

Abstract:

Effect of mass flow rate of inlet gas on holdup mass in a high efficiency cyclone has been performed. Cyclone as heat transfer equipment may be used for drying, solidification, water removal, solvent recovery, sublimation, chemical reaction and oxidation. In all such cases, performance of cyclone depends on the surface area of the solid particles inside the cyclone. The holdup varies with the variation in operating parameters. This proposed work will present an effect of mass flow rate of inlet gas on cyclone heat exchanger and calculation of holdup mass by varying the mass flow rate of inlet gas, solid feed rate and diameter of the particle.
