NUMERICAL RESULTS AND DESIGNING ASPECTS CONCERNING THE HGMF FILTERINGCELLS WITH BOUND FLOW-FIELD

The work presents analytical and numerical results and some designing aspects concerning the high gradient magnetic filtration (HGMF) of fin e paramagnetic particles of a fluid suspension flowing through bound s paces. Our analysis concerns two HGMF systems, in axial and transversa l configurations respectively, with the ferromagnetic wires placed out side the flow field. The conditions of maximum recovery of particles a re established for these systems. The obtained results can be used to design magnetic filtering systems with anticorrosive and antierosive p rotection of the ferromagnetic wires. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Scie nce Ltd.
