Equipment Design Itsarsalan Khan 1

The document outlines calculations for determining the number of cyclones required based on gas flow rates and dimensions. It details the volumetric flow rates, inlet duct areas, and cyclone dimensions, concluding that 3 cyclones are needed for one flow rate and 2 for another. Additionally, it includes calculations for pressure drop and other parameters related to cyclone design.
