Electrostatics Generation in a Small Cyclone Separator
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Experiments were conducted in a small cyclone separator (50 mm inner diameter) with two grades of commercial polyethylene particles, to study the electrostatic charge generation during the gas−solid transportation and separation. Results show clearly that the charges generated in the cyclone test unit were quite reproducible. When solid particles were fed to the cyclone, there was an abrupt change in the current flow and a quick increase of (negative) charge generation for both types of polyethylene particles. Both the charge density and the charge generation rate were always higher for the particles of higher density and smaller mean size. For both types of polyethylene, the (negative) charge density increased almost linearly with the gas velocity. When the solid feed rate or initial solid loading increased, the magnitude of the charge density decreased because there were fewer particle−wall collisions at higher solids feeding rate or higher solids concentration, due to shielding effects. Results indicate that the pipe section contributed <10% of the total charge generation for both grades of polyethylene, with charge generation being dominated by the interaction between the particles and the cyclone internal surface.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
