The study aimed toward improvement of performance of gas solid separator operating at pressure at 1 Mpa and at high flux density in the cyclone body. Here we are going to study various parameter affective the cyclone process and calculating various changes because of it. The receiver consisting of cone shaped converging channel and an externally fined circular pipe is found in the middle of cylindrical cyclone body. A fine and tube flow conditioner is mounted upstream of converging channel inlet. Experimental result show that optimal cyclone design velocity which are for 1D3D cyclone should be determine based on standard air density. It is important to consider the air density effect on cyclone performance in design of cyclone abatment system. By using this system pressure drop was tested against the measured data at different inlet velocity. This result show cyclone pressure drop varies with inlet velocity but not with diameter. Simulation results are going to be involved in estimation of the main performance characteristics of the separator. Experimental research on a 1;2 separator model allowed estimation of pressure drop.

Keywords- cyclone separator, CFD, design, pressure drop, velocity.
