The critical diameters, fractional efficiencies and pressure losses ate calculated under the assumptions that each phase has the same velocity and the same acceleration in the spiral motion of the flow, a relative velocity occurs in the radial direction, and drag coefficient remains constant under certain conditions. The results obtained under these assumptions are compared with their experimental and theoretical counterparts in literature, and very good agreement is observed with the experimental values.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessThermodynamicsMechanicsCyclonePerformance assessmentMathematical modelingTwo-phase flowComposition effectsComputational methodsCyclone separatorsDragMathematical modelsParticles (particulate matter)Pressure dropRadial flowSurface roughnessDrag coefficientArticle0000861198000122-s2.0-0034143735263272272ThermodynamicsMechanicsCyclone Separators; Dust Collectors; Pressure Drop
