The side-outlet cyclone, featuring a novel geometric design with a lateral gas outlet, proves advantageous in space-constrained environments compared to traditional cyclones with top gas outlets. Herein, a cyclone separator with a side-outlet configuration was numerically investigated using the renormalization group k-ε model and pressure drop and separation efficiency as the performance parameters. Simulation results revealed that the side-outlet cyclone operates at a low to moderate pressure drop of 80.8412 Pa, with a removal efficiency of 45.48 %. The operating pressure drop was found to be only one-third of the computed pressure drop from mathematical modeling, with a removal efficiency 15 % lower than the experimental value. With varying cyclone design modifications, suitable experimental procedures and measuring approaches are desirable to further accurately corroborate these results.

用于颗粒物和聚合物粉末分离的侧出口旋风分离器的数值性能研究

与带有顶部气体出口的传统旋风分离器相比，侧出口旋风分离器具有新颖的几何设计和侧面气体出口，在空间受限的环境中具有优势。在此，使用重正化群k-ε模型并以压降和分离效率作为性能参数，对具有侧出口结构的旋风分离器进行了数值研究。模拟结果表明，侧出口旋流器在80.8412 Pa的中低压降下运行，去除效率为45.48%。结果发现，操作压降仅为数学模型计算压降的三分之一，去除效率比实验值低15%。通过不同的旋风​​分离器设计修改，需要合适的实验程序和测量方法来进一步准确地证实这些结果。
