Popis: A new type of hydrocyclone with an internal perforated cylindrical tube is developed and its performance is experimentally examined for solid-liquid separation. Two types of the inner cylinder, whose void fractions of the perforated surface are 31% and 67%, respectively, are tested. It is found that the inner perforated cylinder removes the air core which is generally formed in the conventional hydrocyclone. It is also shown that the hydrocyclone with the inner perforated cylinder achieves better separation efficiency and lower pressure loss than the conventional hydrocyclone. The larger void fraction of the perforated surace elicits on higher efficiency.
