Cyclone separators are used to remove particles from an air stream. Air enters the inlet at a velocity of 5 m/s and exits at an outlet pressure of 101325 Pa. You can see the geometry and conditions for the simulation in the figure below:

1. Inlet–Velocity = 5 m/s

2. Outlet–Specified Pressure Outlet = 101325 Pa

Air density = 1.1614 kg/m3

Air viscosity = 1.846 e-05 Pa.s
