🌪️ Reverse-Flow Cyclone Double Vortex & Centrifugal Separation
Real-time visual simulation: Outer descending dust vortex, inner clean gas vortex core, and hopper collection📝 Configuration & Presets
Lapple & Leith-Licht Formulation:
• Cut-off Diameter: d₅₀ = √[ 9 μg b / (2 π Ne Vin (ρp − ρg)) ] [μm]
• Grade Collection Efficiency: η(dp) = 1 / [ 1 + (d₅₀/dp)² ]
• Pressure Drop: ΔPc = ½ ρg Vin² · NH [mbar]
• Recommended Inlet Velocity: Vin ≈ 15 − 22 m/s.
• Cut-off Diameter: d₅₀ = √[ 9 μg b / (2 π Ne Vin (ρp − ρg)) ] [μm]

📘 Calculation Methodology & Cyclone Dedusting Standards
Reverse-Flow Vortex Centrifugal Force
Tangential gas injection creates a powerful double vortex where centrifugal acceleration pushes solid particles outwards to the conical wall, falling into the bottom dust hopper.
Stairmand vs Swift Proportions
Standardized geometric proportions balance collection efficiency against pressure drop ($N_H = 6.4 - 9.2$ velocity heads), ensuring optimal fan electrical consumption.
Key Engineering Assumptions
- Lapple / Leith-Licht semi-empirical grade efficiency formulation.
- Ideal Stokes drag on micron-sized solid dust particles.
- Applicable to cement kilns, biomass boilers, woodworking shops, and spray dryers.
