Modeling of a multicomponent gas flow through a cyclone of dust arrester GP-628 at a gas purifying area using ANSYS

The numerical analysis of a multicomponent gas flow through the cyclone is of great importance because full-scale experiments are extremely time-consuming and expensive. Furthermore, some phenomena cannot be observed directly when conducting the full-scale experiments. Three-dimensional flow of a multicomponent gas mixture through the cyclone of a GP-628 dust arrester at the gas purifying area is studied numerically under working conditions at average temperature, pressure, and gas flow rate values. Turbulent gas flow was calculated using zero-equation models. Three-dimensional distributions of pressure and flow velocities of the multicomponent gas mixture through the cyclone of the dust arrester GP-628 were obtained. The calculated value of flow resistance of the cyclone is in good agreement with the published data for the dust arrester.
