Hi,
I am simulating existing cyclones of one of my projects to understand their efficiency and performance.
Their inlet section is circular instead of rectangular shape and all the texts that I have studied explain the calculation of cyclones based on rectangular inlet, but not circular one.
I want to know if there are some equations for calculating the cyclone parameters and efficiency based on circular inlet.
OR
If there is not exist such equations, how can I convert the circular inlet section to rectangular one in order to use the conventional equations of cyclone ( how to obtain the length and width of the equal rectangle)?
So, You are kindly requested to give me the brief useful information.
