TITLE OF EXPERIMENT

PARTICULATE EMISSION CONTROL BY DOUBLE CYCLONE SYSTEM

NAME : THEYVAN A/L GANESAN

ID : 55201212141

LECTURER : DR. AMELIA

DATE OF EXPERIMENT : 9 MARCH 2015

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cyclone body diameter upon collection efficiency. The cyclonic separator is an important and popular type of dust-removal equipment. In this experiment 50 gram of kaolin was used as sample to study the particulate collection efficiency of double cyclone system.

A cyclone collector can be defined as a structure without moving parts in which the velocity of an inlet gas stream is transformed into a confined vortex from which centrifugal forces tend to drive the suspended particles to the wall of of the cyclone body. It consists of vertically placed cylinders which has an inverted cone attached to its base. The particulate-laden gas stream enters tangentially at the inlet point into the cylinder. The outlet pipe for the purified gas is a central cylindrical opening at the top. The dust particulates are collected at the bottom in a storage hopper. The gas path generally follows a double vortex (Tse Hung,2012). The gas is first allowed to flow through a light circular spiral which produces centrifugal force on the suspended particles which in turn are forced to move upwards at the central portion of the cyclone. Because of inertia, the dust particles tend to settle on the surface of the cyclone wall, from where they are collected in receivers (Sharma,2007).

The collection efficiency of cyclones varies as a function of particle size and cyclone design. Cyclones are generally sized from the diameter of the cylinder (Mudakavi,2010). Cyclone efficiency generally increases with particle size and/or density, inlet duct velocity, cyclone body length, number of

    Cyclone Debbie had a massive impact on Queensland and the environment. The cyclone caused floods all throughout Queensland which had damaged the land. The damaged land couldn’t support growing food which was a major impact to farms. The flooding didn’t impact farms it had a major impact on the animals that lived in Queensland. Multiple habitats were lost and animals started dying because the wasn’t any more sustainable area to live in. The high winds were a major cause in the damage of the Great barrier reef with winds reaching up to 200km/h damaging the coral above ground. The build-up of flood water near the coast ended up in the great barrier reef, killing a great portion of the…

    Ahead of the hurricane's landfall, a station south of Apalachicola reported wind gusts of 79 mph (127 km/h) at an elevation of 115 ft (35 m).[54] At sea level, sustained winds reached 52 mph (84 km/h) at Keaton Beach, with gusts 67 mph (108 km/h).[55] While moving ashore, Hermine produced a 5.8 ft (1.8 m) storm surge at Cedar Key.[56] Heavy rainfall occurred across western Florida, reaching 22.36 in (568 mm) over 72 hours at the Lake Tarpon Canal in Pinellas County.[57] The outer rainbands of Hermine spawned an EF0 tornado just southwest of Windermere with a width of 450 ft (140 m) and 80 to 85 mph (129 to 137 km/h) winds. On the ground for 1.2 mi (1.9 km), the twister damaged about 100 trees, along with several fences and windows.[58] The…

    The exhilarating novel centers on a little girl named Anita de la Torre, and her life as the infamous dictator Trujillo ruled the Dominican Republic. Anita is a character that strongly portrays the traits of innocence and naiveness. She goes to school at the American school in the Dominican Republic. The school has a picture of “El Jefe” hanging up and Anita seems to look up to him as a person: she believes that one day she will be greeted by him as “the girl who never cries”. However, as the secrets of El Jefe unfold, Anita discovers that he tortures and makes many Dominicans “disappear”. Half of her family has fled to the United States when it was safe and the other half had to remain in hiding. Secret police called SIM, invade the compound that Anita and her family live in and restrict the children from normal activities like school. On Anita’s sister’s fifteenth birthday party, El Jefe arrives and shows interest in her, in order to keep her safe she is sent to the United States.…

    In the remarkable novel, “Cyclone,” by Doreen Cronin, twelve-year-old Nora has been counting down the days to ride the one and only Cyclone roller coaster at Coney Island. Not only does the ride, Cyclone, have its swirls and steep falls, but it is incredibly old, making it all the scarier for Nora. She decides that she doesn’t want to face it alone and tries to persuade her favorite cousin, Riley, to join her. Riley refuses, so Nora feels as though she has no choice, but to blackmail her by threatening to tell her mother one of her deepest secrets. Despite Riley’s fear of heights and really, really big fear of roller coasters, she agrees and accompanies Nora on the ride, not knowing that from that moment on her life will be forever changed.…

    The high-pressure air blower constantly inhales air within the Calcium carbonate grinding mill/machine and, in turn, the airflow with crushed materials are brought to the classifier whose high-speed impeller will screen the airflow: the unqualified particle size will fall and return to the mill for being reground while the qualified particle size mixed with air will go into the cyclone powder collector. Most of the qualified powders will fall and exit from the discharging valve at the bottom; a small proportion of the fine powders, with airflow, moves to the dust cleaner, and clings to the surface of the filter bags. At the same…

    Sand sent to the hopper by the belt conveyer and bucket elevator, and then through the hopper feeder into the feeding pipe, thereby entering the feeding end. The feeding pipe inclination is greater than the natural angle of materials, so that material flows into the sand dryer. Dryer cylinder is a rotating cylinder that have a certain inclination with horizontal line. Material from the high-end to join, heat carrier from the low-end entry, countercurrent contact with material, also have heat carrier and material flow into the cylinder together. With the rotating cylinder materials by gravity run to the lower end. Wet material in the cylinder body to move forward, heat by heat carrier directly or indirectly, so that the wet material to be dried, then at the discharge end through a belt or a screw conveyor send out. In sand dryer inner wall of the cylinder is provided with a copy board. Its role is to bring up material then down, increasing the contract surface of material and gas flow, in order to improve the drying rate and promote material progress. Heat carrier are generally divided into hot air, flue gas. Heat carrier through the dryer, then the material in the gas was collected by cyclone dust collector.

    Models XCF and KYF are enforced aeration flotation machine. It has a smaller diameter of impeller, thus lower peripheral speed, saving 30-50% of power. Because and air distributor is equipped in the tank, air is evenly dispersed. The impeller acts as a centrifugal pump, so as to make the solid particles suspending. The tank is mode as u type, reducing sand settlement to the least .Due to reasonable design of the impeller structure and the impeller space, impeller wearing is even, so , the service life of the impeller and stator are extended. Model KYF is unable to spontaneously suck slurry, while has low power consumption. In contrast, model XCF has the ability to automatically suck slurry, and may be allocated horizontally without need for foam pump, but consumes more power than model KYF. Therefore, model XCF and model KYF are combined into a set, i.e., XCF as the sucking tank, and KYF as the direct tank. The combined set can be arranged horizontally without foam pump either.…

    The polluted air enters from the bottom and flows upwards. The high voltage in the wire (50KV) ionizes the air. The negative ions move towards the ground surface and pass on their charge (negative) to the particles also. Then those negatively charged particles are electrostatically drawn towards the positively charged collector surface where they are finally deposited. The collecting surface is occasionally vibrated to remove deposited particles so that the thickness of the dust collector does not exceed 6mm otherwise electrical attraction becomes weak and efficiency of the precipitator is reduced.…
