The air flow pattern in a cyclone rotational field is rather complex. Analysis of Cyclone Pressure Drop It can be characterized by three velocity components such as by tangential velocity, axial velocity and radial velocity. Ter Linden Lingjuan Wang, Graduate Research Assistant (1949) first measured the details of the flow field in a cyclone and Calvin B. Parnell, Jr Ph.D., P. E., Regent Professor described the air flow tangential velocity distribution and the Bryan W. Shaw, Ph.D., Assistant Professor pressure distribution in a cyclone as given by the Figure 2. Department of Agricultural Engineering Texas AM University After the air stream enters the cyclone, it will spiral downward College Station, Texas because of centrifugal and frictional forces. In the outer vortex, the total air flow velocity consists of tangential velocity, radial Abstract velocity and axial velocity. The tangential velocity is the dominant velocity component. It also determines the centrifugal force A ne
