Abstrakt: The use of hydrocyclones for particles separation is widespread due to advantages such as low cost, simple structure, large capacity and low volume. The shape and size of a hydrocyclone has a decisive effect on the internal flow structure of the continuous phase, and therefore, the separation or classification of the dispersed phase [1]. Therefore, in order to improve the equipments performance, several geometrical changes have been studied in the literature for hydrocyclones of different families [2-13].
