Abstract :
Understanding of water split behavior in any centrifugal separator at different operating conditions is essential to understand particle separation mechanism. In this paper an attempt has been made to quantify the effects of four major variables- spigot diameter, vortex finder diameter, feed inlet pressure and vortex finder length on water partitioning in hydrocyclone. For this purpose systematic experiment was carried out with a 76 mm hydrocyclone at various operating conditions. The study reveals that out of these four variables only spigot diameter and vortex finder diameter play a significant role in water partitioning behavior but feed pressure and vortex finder length has marginal effect on water split. Therefore, an attempt has been made to develop a correlation to predict the water partitioning behavior in the cylindro-conical cyclones using spigot diameter and vortex finder diameter as individual variables based on regression analyses of systematic experimental data generated. From the developed correlation it is found that these two variables almost have equal impact on the water split in hydrocyclone
