    Hydrocyclones- Calculation steps and separation results

    Thank you, I came to the same conclusion but was worried that I missunderstood that the effectiveness might get lower with larger particles? Since this is really out of my comfort-zone I felt the need to double-check. Best regards!

    Hydrocyclones- Calculation steps and separation results

    Hello, I want to see if hydrocyclones can be used in a application, where we have small metall particles that we want to extract from a closed loop water system. I found a book "Chemical Engineering Design" written by Richardson, where there are some equations given that makes it possible to...

    Calculating the force that a permanent magnet exerts on a particle

    If both magnets have the same geometric shape, but the difference is just is size? It seems like this question is too hard to get an rough estimate for, maybe just buying a bunch of magnets and testing is the best way.

    Calculating the force that a permanent magnet exerts on a particle

    Thank you for the advice, I will think about that type of geometry. The reason for the "wand" shape is because we need to insert the rod into a tube, thus making the "hole" as little as possible. I am looking to filter the stream, like insert the rod for a couple of days and then take it out...

    Calculating the force that a permanent magnet exerts on a particle

    I would just love to have some estimates, otherwise I will ofcourse do a practical test to determine the distance. Rod 1) is 42 mm high with a diameter of 9 mm. Rod 2) is 30 mm high with a diameter of 7 mm. Excatly, I noted that the steel seems to make the magnet much weaker, but the volume...

    Calculating the force that a permanent magnet exerts on a particle

    Dear Tom.G, I am sorry for the confusion. Both magnets are permanent magnet with 12 000 Gauss. The SS are not magnetic. I have attached a sketch to make the problem more easy to understand. Any advice regarding which equations I should look into or any example? I have never worked with...

    Calculating the force that a permanent magnet exerts on a particle

    Dear readers, I have a question regarding permanent magnets and the force they generate on particles, which is far from my comfort zone. I have the option on using two types of permanent magnets and with two different setups. Imagine that we want to attract small particles using the magnets...

    Can I Still Use My Engineering Skills in a Management Position?

    Hello! I am a male, 31 years old with a Msc. in Mechanical Engineering working in Sweden at a small company developing different types of components (very broad industry range). I have a management position, so I do not work with calculations and simulations as I did before, which is something...
