Plots

This section shows some of the common plots used in the cyclone separator simulation. The steps to create the plots are:

1. Click Load Results in the Simulation Panel and load the steady state results.
2. Select the required result file in the ensuing Load Results dialog box, click Open.

Mass Flux

The mass balance is monitored with the mass flux plots.

1. Select Cyclone_inlet and Cyclone_outlet under Boundaries in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Click Add XY-Plot in the Toolbar.
3. Click Click for Variable List and then select Mass Flux under Flow in the Plot Panel.
4. Click Plot Selected Variables .
5. Click Combine Entity Data into a Single Curve to obtain the net mass flux.

Pressure

The pressure is monitored at the monitoring points Center_point and Bin_point. They are obtained as follows:

1. Select Center_point and Bin_point under Points in the Geometric Entities Panel.
2. Click Add XY-Plot in the Toolbar.
3. Click Click for Variable List in Plot Panel toolbar and then select Pressure from Flow list.
4. Click Plot Selected Variables .
