Increase of separation efficiency in the inertial gas-purifying equipment by high-intensity ultrasonic vibrations

This article describes the prospects of applying of ultrasonic vibrations to increase efficiency of gas-dispersed flow separation on the example of the vortex tube. Developed model of the separation of gas-dispersed flow containing solid particles is described. The specific feature of the model is in consideration of particle coagulation caused by high-intensity ultrasonic vibrations. The characteristics of the gas flow and ultrasonic influence providing minimum separation time of solid fine particles and continuous phase are determined.
