Cyclone Design Calculation Tool Simplified

This document contains a cyclone design tool that allows the user to input parameters like gas flowrate, dust load, geometry ratios, and select a standard geometry to calculate cyclone dimensions and performance metrics like pressure drop and cut off diameter. The tool provides calculations and dimensions for modifying the cyclone diameter to reach a target cut off diameter and low pressure drop.
