Abstract:

In order to find the optimal profile which possesses a better separation efficiency and a lower pressure lose, numerical simulation are conducted for twophase flow in two different inertial particle separators with different profiles with the aid of compute software—FLUENT. Separation efficiency is obtained for sands with different diameters, and the effects of different SCRs on it are also obtained. The results are compared on this basis and some analyses are conducted to determine the factors affecting the separation efficiency.
