Numerical simulation of the flow field of fishmeal particles in a cyclone separator
The application of air flow drying process in fishmeal drying industry makes the cyclone separator as an important equipment for fishmeal separation and cleaning.By studying the separation efficiency of fish meal particles in cyclone separators under different inlet wind speeds,a three-dimensional flow field simulation model of cyclone separators was built,and STAR-CCM+software was used to simulate and analyze the inlet wind speeds of 10,12,14,16,18 and 20 m/s.The velocity nepho-gram,pressure nephogram and particle trajectory diagram of inlet interface under different wind speed were obtained.By ob-serving the separation efficiency and the internal pressure change of the separator,and considering the energy consumption and separation effect,it was concluded that when the inlet wind speed was adjusted to 16 m/s,the fishmeal particle separation effect could be achieved and energy saving can be achieved.
