The Motion Simulation of Two-phase Flow Pulp in a Centrifugal Separator

Abstract

One of the variants of the mathematical describing of motion of solid particles in the liquid flow of a centrifugal separator is proposed. The motion of a single solid particle in a liquid flow is considered using the example of the well-known Chen equation, which is used to study both laminar and turbulent flow regimes in the separation zone. The type of solution obtained allows one to make a qualitative assessment of the effect of the most important parameters on the nature of the motion of solid particles in the separator cell.
