This document describes a cyclone separator, which uses centrifugal force to separate solid or liquid particles from a carrier gas without any moving parts. It discusses the definition, working principle, design procedure, types, advantages, disadvantages and common industrial uses of cyclone separators. The working principle is that the gas and particle mixture enters tangentially and spirals downward along the inner wall before the particles exit through the underflow pipe while the gas reverses direction and exits through the vortex finder. Common uses include spray dryers, food processing, and combustion and vacuum cleaning applications.
