Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation of a Two-Phase Flow Model with a Cylindroconical Structure for Optimization of Liquid Flow
Öz
Hydrocyclone pumps are devices used in mining facilities to classify solid particles according to density or size differences or to separate them from a liquid. Hydrocyclones are manufactured in a cylindroconical structure that does not contain mechanical parts and are used to optimize liquid flow. Hydrocyclones heat up rapidly during operation and these high temperature values can cause wear and danger to hydrocyclone components. In order to prevent this, a cooling process must be carried out. This process reduces wear and extends the working life of the hydrocyclone. The viscosity of the liquid is reduced with the cooling process. Thus, it both ensures that the system operates in a better flow and creates a safe environment for employees.
Regular cooling of hydrocyclone pumps used in mining facilities; ensures that the system operates more efficiently and has a longer life. An automation system can be created to guarantee the effectiveness of this cooling process. In this study, it is aimed to design an automation system for active cooling in hydrocyclone pumps.
