Abstract: – Cyclone separators are widely used in industrial applications to remove particulate matter from gaseous streams. The performance of a cyclone is highly dependent on operational parameters such as inlet velocity and particle size. In this study, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is utilized to simulate and evaluate the performance of an industrial cyclone separator. Various inlet velocities (10 m/s to 25 m/s) and particle diameters (1 µm to 50 µm) were analyzed to determine their effects on separation efficiency and pressure drop. The simulations reveal that both inlet velocity and particle size significantly influence cyclone performance. This work helps optimize cyclone design parameters to improve dust removal efficiency while minimizing energy losses.
