    The document discusses pressure drop in cyclones. It provides equations for calculating pressure drop based on inlet gas density, inlet velocity, number of inlet velocity heads, and cyclone geometry. It also gives inputs and calculations as an example, showing the pressure drop is calculated as 0.020 bar or 7.834 inches of water based on the given values. The pressure drop correlations provided are empirical and valid up to 10 inches of water pressure drop.

    (Q/ab) (Note1)

    Notes 1. For circular inlet to the cyclone use cross-sectional area as 'pd2/4' instead of 'ab' for rectangular inlet, where 'd' is inside diameter of inlet nozzle. 2. Correlations for the pressure drop have been empirical and are acceptable up to DP = 10 in. H20. The pressure drop (DP) or the frictional loss is expressed in terms of the velocity head based on the cyclone inlet area. The frictional loss through cyclones is from 1 to 20 inlet velocity heads and depends on the geometric ratios. Prepared by: Ankur Srivastava Chemical Engineer Email: [email protected]
