Cyclone Geometry

Cyclone separator is an equipment typically being used for removing particulates from a liquid. To avoid using filters. Roughly speaking the separation process is made by a rotation effect and a gravity. Its particular design depends on a typical particle size, its density and a kind of liquid.

Figure crossref shows a sketch of a simple cyclone geometry. The Table crossref presents a nomenclature of cyclone parameters and its particular dimensions for this tutorial.
