Hydrocyclones are devices used in numerous chemicals, food, and mineral-related industrial sectors for the separation of fine particles. A d50 mm hydrocyclone was modelled with use Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, ANSYS® Fluent 2021 R1. The vortex finder depth varied from 20 mm, 30 35 to observe effects pressure drop efficiency a characteristics air core. numerical methods validat...

Common mass transfer models for multistage distillation show significant deviations between calculated and experimental height equivalent to a theoretical plate (HETP) values viscous feed mixtures. This is due limited transferability of the available data which were mainly obtained from experiments with inviscid Separation efficiency measurements at elevated viscosities can be conducted polymer...

Acetic acid is an essential chemical used in the production of many products. Using methanol as bio-building block, acetic produced may be incorporated bio-based This study deals with enhancing efficiency separations a process using homogeneous catalyst, which most applied today industrially. Several configurations for downstream processing by distillation are investigated effective combination...
