Abstract—The paper presents a Computational Fluid Dynamics calculation to predict and evaluate the influence of cyclone inlet velocity on the cyclone pressure drop. The numerical solutions were carried out using commercial CFD code. The study was conducted for cyclone separator, based on the available literature. When compared with the presented data the prediction proved to be satisfactory. Analysis of cyclone pressure drop fordifferent cyclone separator models was carried out at different inlet velocities.
