AB - Cyclones and hydrocyclones are widely used for gas–solid and liquid–solid particle separations, respectively. The key feature is the presence of a centrifugal field. Equilibrium zone concept is one of the most used approaches for equipment design. This work revisits the design equations for nonspherical particles and compares design results considering nonspherical geometry to results considering spherical geometry and correcting the values to the non‐spherical particle geometry. A didactic spreadsheet was prepared for analysis and instruction, and depending on the particle shape and on the particle orientation, errors up to 38% may be obtained in the cut diameter and 10% in the global collection efficiency. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
