Introduction

Inertial seperators are devices that are used to filter particulates from the flow of gas going through the system by changing the direction of motion of the flow (Clift, 1997). The flow direction of motion is changed through use of various geometric designs such as baffles, cavities, cross section area changes, and so on. Through sudden introduction of these geometric designs, forces in the gas will concentrate the flow of particles to specific part of the gas flow which can be then seperated in chambers or other filtering surfaces. And so, Intricate design of these geometric structures inside the seperators play important role in increasing the overall efficiency of the filtering system.

Objective

  • Design a geometry based on the tesla valve for gas-solid flow seperation purposes
  • Simulate said geometric design through transient, subsonic, Incompressible, and LES configuration CFD simulation
  • Analyze the feasibility of tesla valve based geometry in filtering through parameters including (1) efficiency in filtering, (2) flow patterns, (3) number of segments
  • Verifying the result based on a grid independece study to ensure a small margin of error
  • Validate results through various other similar studies
