Abstract: In order to grasp the influence of exhaust pipe size on cyclone flow fields and improve the recovery and utilization rate of coal powder in power plant, the flow characteristics and the separation capacity of the fine coal powder separator in power plant were investigated through numerical simulation. The Reynolds stress model was employed to model the turbulent flow. The Eulerian-Lagrangian computational procedure was used to predict particles tracking in the cyclone. The particle trajectories were simulated using the discrete random walk. Five cyclone types with different insertion lengths of the exhaust pipe at the same other geometric dimensions were considered. It was found that tangential velocity played a dominant role in the radial distribution of particles, which was mainly represented by Rankine vortex. When the insertion length of the exhaust pipe was increased from 1638 mm to 5100 mm, the grade efficiency of 5–12 μm particles was increased by 19%, and the pressure drop reduced by 8%.
