Abstract
The passage of dust particles through a cyclone collector has been studied using the Stokesian model of viscous drag. It was found that there are two time scales associated with the motion: a short time, proportional to viscosity, during which the particles acquire a small velocity defect relative to ambient gas, thus providing a frictional drag that roughly balances the inertia of spiral motion, and a much larger time, inversely proportional to viscosity, in which the residual imbalance causes the particles to drift to the wall. Theoretical extraction times were computed and found to agree with experience for particle sizes up to 5μ.
