Effects of Particle Exit Diameter on the Performance of a Gas-Solid Cyclone Separator of High Solid Loading Designed for a Circulating Fluidized Adsorption Refrigeration System

In applications such as in chemical, pharmaceutical, nanotechnology and food industries where cyclones are used for product separation and recovery, the gases carry a product rather than a waste in which the solid loadings (Co) can be much higher. Ensuring efficient products separation and recovery from the air stream without damaging their characteristics becomes so crucial. It is therefore highly imperative to consider the effects of the particle (product) exit design on the cyclone performance for optimization purposes. The effects of particle exit diameter (
