Simulation Study of a Porous Overflow-Pipe (POP) Type Hydrocyclone

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method, applying FLUENT software, taking a de-oil hydrocyclone as an original structure, the effect of porous overflow pipe on the performance and pressure characteristics is analyzed. Effect of overflow-pipe length and diameter of the porous overflow-pipe (POP) hydrocyclone is studied. It is found that the extension of overflow-pipe length can play a coalescent role; the new type hydrocyclone can increase oil content around overflow outlet so as to be beneficial for the enhancement of separation effect.
