Correlation of Gravitational Separation Parameters

Abstract

The entropy parameter is key when analyzing the properties of mass systems. This concept was first formulated in thermodynamics and then extended to many areas of knowledge. The concept of entropy for two-phase flows in separation modes was also reasonably formulated. Analysis of the connection between this entropy and other parameters characterizing the critical two-phase flow allowed us to determine a statistical identity for this process, which constitutes a balance between the potential and kinetic energy of various parameters characterizing the two-phase flow. This relationship connects all the main separation parameters determined from the consideration of the mass process, including also entropy. On this basis, it was possible to develop an in-depth theory of the process and create an adequate experimental methodology for calculating separation results and methods for optimizing it.
