Abstract

Cyclone equipment is easy to manufacture and operate, versatile and economical, but its main drawback is the inability to capture finely dispersed dust. The article discusses the most important characteristics of the highly efficient industrial cyclonic rotary dust collector developed by us. The apparatus implements the principle of two-stage separation of heterogeneous dust-gas systems in a centrifugal field. In the first stage, working on the principle of a cyclone, and in the second - working on the principle of a rotary dust collector. During operation of the apparatus, a higher pressure on the periphery of the rotating part returns a concentrated dusty flow with a low gas flow to the cyclone part. Formed by a gap, between the cyclone body and the dividing cone, a closed circuit connects the output and input of the cyclone-rotational dust collector to each other. There is a negative feedback - an effective control mechanism for such complex probabilistic systems as gas heterogeneous curvilinear flows. Negative feedback stabilizes the processes occurring in such flows. The energy of the electric motor is used in the cyclone-rotational dust collector for the movement of dusty gas, concentration, coagulation of fine dust, its return from the rotary to the cyclone zone, dispersion and capture, with the aim of saving energy and material resources. The main task of the theory of centrifugal separation of dusty flows is to find the minimum diameter of a particle that has a practically perceptible relative radial velocity. Known deterministic models of centrifugal separation are either too simple and ignore many factors that determine the process, or in attempts to account for them are too cumbersome and difficult to solve, although they are also not free from various assumptions and limitations. The stochastic model takes into account the integral set of various influences on the radial drift of the Stokes particle from the center to the periphery of the swirling flow. The paper presents the results of the study of the structure of the three-dimensional two-phase gas flow with highly dispersed inclusions in cyclonic-rotary dust collectors using 3D geometric models with the aim of visualizing these flows using computer graphics methods. Numerical studies were carried out using the k-e model of turbulence with scaled wall functions.
