The effect of the introduction of an exit tube on the separation efficiency in a cyclone

The paper shows the analysis of the effect of introduction of an exit tube into the cylindrical part of a cyclone on the flow velocity, pressure losses and, above all, the separation efficiency. We made measurements and carried out CFD simulations for three levels of the exit tube introduction. The...
