This book has been conceived to provide guidance on the theory and design ofcyclone systems. Forthose new to the topic, a cyclone is , in its most basic form, astationary mechanical device that utilizes centrifugal force to separate solid orliquid particles from a carrier gas. Gas enters near the top via a tangential or vanedinlet, which gives rise to an axially descending spiral of gas and a centrifugal forcefield that causes the incoming particles to concentrate along, and spiral down, theinner walls of the separator. The thus-segregated particulate phase is allowed toexit out an underflow pipe while the gas phase constricts, and - in most separators- reverses its axial direction of flow and exits out a separate overflow pipe.
