Abstract

A critical assessment is presented for the existing fluid flow models and the flow measurement techniques used for hydrocyclone classifiers. The basic nature of flow and the measurement techniques are analyzed and a detailed discussion is presented on the empirical, semi-empirical and the Navier-Stokes equation based flow models available in the literature. The existing equations describing turbulence and pressure drop are also critically reviewed.
