Abstract
This work investigated the influence of cone inclination and cyclone height on pressure drop and energy requirement of cylindrical-conical tangential entry cyclone. The pressure drop across the cyclone was measured with a manometer connected across the inlet and exit of the cyclone. Minimum pressure drop of 3.55 cm of kerosene was observed at 2o cone inclination and 0.6 m overall cyclone height while maximum pressure was 5.05 cm of kerosene at 2o and 0.3 m overall height. Pressure drop and power requirements were found to increase with cone inclination and decrease with cyclone height. The statistical model developed was found to mimic experimental data at all heights and cone inclination studied.
