Your cyclone separator comment on Talk:Souders-Brown equation

A cyclone separator is sometimes in the same way, e.g., as a flash separator. [1] I wonder if it might be appropriate to mention this competing technology in this article? Best wishes, Walter Siegmund 09:19, 11 February 2008 (CST)

Walter, I apologise for not responding sooner. Yes, a gas-liquid cyclone can be used as a flash separator. However, to the best of my knowledge, the Souders-Brown equation is not used in the design of cyclones and this article is about that equation. Perhaps, what we need is another article about gas-liquid cyclones. Would you be willing to undertake writing such an article? Best regards, - Milton Beychok 21:15, 17 February 2008 (CST)
