Study of the Pressure Drop and Flow Field in Standard Gas Cyclone Models Using the Granular Model by Nabil Kharoua, Lyes Khezzar, Zoubir Nemouchi

“…Since the pressure drop is strongly related to the friction inside the cyclone body, the concept of entropy generation has been employed to detect regions of high frictional effects. Friction has been observed to be important at the vortex finder wall, the bottom of the conical-part wall, and the interface separating the outer and the core streams. …”
