In the computational fluid dynamics study of hydrocyclones, the air-core dimension is key to
predicting the mass split between the underflow and overflow. In turn, the mass split …

Comminution and classification are the two major unit operations involved in the processing
of pure minerals from its ore rocks. In the current paper, an assessment is made on different …

The flow behavior in hydrocyclone is quite complex. This complexity of flow processes has
led designers to rely on empirical equations for predicting the equipment performance. The …

Hydrocyclone models hitherto reported in the literature are empirical expressions that relate
device dimensions and inlet flow conditions with separation parameters. Therefore, the …

Hydrocyclones are widely used in the mining and chemical industries. An attempt has been
made in this study, to develop a CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model, which is …

The search continues for accurate and efficient 3D computational fluid dynamics algorithms
for hydrocyclone flows. A review of recent work and new developments are presented. This …

This research article encompasses development of hydrocyclone simulation methodology
through validation with suitably designed experiments at a range of process conditions and …

A mechanical separation process in a hydrocyclone is described in which disperse water
droplets are separated from a continuous diesel fuel phase. This separation process is …
