Which principle does cyclone separator use?(a) Gravitational force(b) Vortex velocity(c) Inertia(d) Temperatures of airThis question was posed to me in quiz.I need to ask this question from Mechanical Dust Collectors in chapter Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (c) Inertia

The best I can explain: Cyclone separators or SIMPLY cyclones work on the principle of inertia to MOVE particulate matter from flue gases. In these high velocity dusts carrying gas is MADE to pass through CONICAL separator in tangential direction. This results in centrifugal action, throwing away the HEAVIER dust particles to the sides of conical chamber.
