    The document discusses cyclone dimensions, performance indicators, operating parameters and conditions for particle classification.

    Cyclone dimensions discussed include height (H), inlet diameter (Di), vortex finder diameter (Do), underflow diameter (Du) and spigot diameter (S).

    Parameters considered for performance evaluation include recovery (Rf, Rs, Rv), partition factor and particle size distribution.
