ABSTRACT: The gas-solids cyclone separator is industrial equipment that has been widely used. Due to its industrial relevance, a large number of computational studies have been reported in the literature aimed at understanding and predicting the performance of cyclones in terms of pressure and velocity variation. One of the approaches is to simulate the gas-particle flow field in a cyclone by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The cyclone performance parameters are governed by many operational parameters (e.g., the gas flow rate and temperature) and geometrical parameters. This study focuses only on the effect of the geometrical parameters on the flow field pattern and performance of the tangential inlet cyclone separators using, CFD approach. The objective of this study is three-fold. First, to study the optimized stairmand’s design b
