Viscosity: The Basics - Chemical Engineering | Page 1
WEBAug 1, 2009 · To be brief, viscosity is resistance to flow. For handlers of all materials that flow, either while being processed or in an end-use, it is important to think about the materials’ flow characteristics. The bottom line is to come up with ways to measure viscosity so that you can quantify whether a material will flow the way it needs to.
Facts at your Fingertips: Cyclone Separators - Chemical Engineering
WEBJul 1, 2020 · Properly designed cyclones can remove nearly every particle in the 20- to 30-µm range. Typical cyclone separators have efficiencies of 70–90%. Gas inlet velocities should be in the range of 100 to 150 ft/s, but may be limited by re-entrainment of dust particles or by unacceptable pressure drop. At the tapered end of the chamber, where the ...
