Study on Cyclone Separator for Gas and Liquid Two-Phase Flow.

Tsutomu Ohtaki, Junichi Kurokawa

Abstract

The characteristics of gas-liquid two-phase flow in a cyclone separator are experimentally studied in order to determine the performances of separating gas and the optimum configuration of a cyclone separator. The flow patterns are classified for the cases of no separation and gas separation. The measured velocity and pressure distributions reveal that the gas separation depends mainly upon the swirl of the flow and the decay of vortex.
