....what are the required data to design the cyclone separator?!!!! OR what are the given data that we will design the cyclone upon it?!!!!

.....does it make a difference if the inlet cross section are is CIRCULAR or RECTANGULAR ?

flowrate, particle size distribution on inlet, efficiency required (can be defined in many ways), allowable pressure drop... question is very general, therefore answer is general too


.....does it make a difference if the inlet cross section are is CIRCULAR or RECTANGULAR ?

yes, it does
inlet to cyclone is rectangular and "higher > width" to feed cyclone close to the wall to minimise the average distance the particles must travel to be removed from gas stream
