Governing equations

The exact equations the solver works for a cyclone — the same math shown in the app's "Theory" panel, not a black box.

d_{50}=\sqrt{\frac{9\,\mu\,W}{2\pi N_e v\,(\rho_p-\rho_g)}}\;(\text{Lapple}),\quad\eta=\frac{1}{1+(d_{50}/d_{eff})^2},\;\;d_{eff}=d\,\psi

Parameters

velocity [m/s inlet, default 15], diameter [m body, default 0.5]; optional n_turns, gas_viscosity, particle_density [kg/m^3], gas_density [kg/m^3]; the feed's solids.sphericity (default 1.0) lowers efficiency for non-spherical particles
