Description
The first part of this report presents radiotracer experimental Residence Time Distribution (RTD) functions for hydrocyclone separators, their analysis and macro modelling. The second part of the report presents the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for the hydrocyclone. Combining the experimental data and the CFD simulation results allows understanding the fundamental principles of the flow and solids' separation in hydrocyclone. The experimental data help choosing the proper parameters for CFD simulation and from the other side the CFD results allow better analysis and macro modelling of the experimental data. Radiotracer methods have been used for industrial experiments. For CFD simulation the FLUENT software has been applied. (author)
