Abstract
In this research, a design algorithm of a multi-cyclone filter box based on available volume is proposed. The influence of arranging cyclones in the box and the uniformity of fluid and particle flow distribution is also studied. After introducing domain physics, used governing equations are expressed. Grid generation and validation of the numerical solution are then examined. Design of the quantity, diameter, and performance parameters of the cyclone in the filter set is performed by presenting an algorithm. This study shows that adding only 10% to the volume of the filter box reduces the pressure drop by 40 to 50%. For filters consisting of many cyclones, the optimized arrangement of cyclones next to each other is introduced which can improve the standard deviation of flow distributions by 27.5%. Increasing the inlet flow rate can make the distribution of larger diameter particles among cyclones non-uniform by up to 85%.
