Industrial smoke contains various hazardous particles, ash namely to be one of the various substances. The cyclone separator is a specially designed device used to separate the ash particles from the stream of air. The stream of dirt and air mixture flows in two vortexes, the inner vortex and the outer vortex, this device in turns acts as a scrubber and the ash particles get collected down in the ash collector whereas the fresh air stream is released by the device. To increase the efficiency, i.e. to increase the ash collecting capacity of the device, we have tried to compare a classical cyclone separator with the one we created which has protruding surfaces internally and the comparative analysis is done using the CFD software ANSYS R16.0.
