Investigations on Hydrocyclones for the Spallation Neutron Source

The hydrocyclone is commonly used to separate oil from water, and particulates from fluid streams in various process industries. Two-fluid hydrodynamic theory is used here to develop a model for hydrocyclone performance in the application of separation of helium bubbles larger than 30 micron in diameter from liquid mercury at system pressure near 1 bar. The application is related to high power liquid metal target development for proton beams used in spallation neutron sources.
