CFD analysis of inlet chamber body profile effects on de-oiling hydrocyclone efficiency

“…The value of droplet drag coefficient in liquid-liquid emulsion flows (such as flow through the LLHC) depends on droplet Reynolds number and viscosity ratio k (dispersed phase-to-continuous phase viscosity ratio, k = p / c ) (Rovinsky, 1995;Delfos et al, 2004). For pure droplets with no contaminant, there is a slip flow along the interface which is driven by internal circulation that reduces the drag coefficient (Loth, 2008).…”

Análise Da Capacidade Operacional E Razão De Líquido Em Mini-Hidrociclones Modulares

“…O corpo do equipamento é constituído basicamente por uma seção cilíndrica superior associado a um corpo cônico inferior (Delfos et al, 2004). Mesmo sendo de simples configuração, o hidrociclone possui escoamento interno altamente complexo, sendo significativamente influenciado por suas dimensões (Bicalho, 2011).…”

Forward osmosis for the dewatering of pyrolysis oil aqueous phase

“…The pyrolysis oil has some small, valuable components dissolved in the aqueous matrix; therefore, the chosen process should remove only water without these dissolved components, and should be economic viable. The common techniques for removal of water from oily systems [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] suitable for the oil since the pyrolysis oil polymerize at higher temperatures leading to phase separation [22]. Furthermore, thermal treatment processes require huge energy inputs which are costly and cannot be compensated by the benefits pyrolysis oil can offer.…”
