Factors influencing hydrocyclone performance

Hydrocyclone is a static device to separate particles in a liquid suspension based on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance. It is a closed vessel designed to convert incoming liquid velocity into rotary motion. It does this by directing inflow tangentially near the top of a vertical cylinder, This spins the entire contents of the cylinder,creating centrifugal force in the liquid. The Hydrocyclones are divided in two categories ( desanders and desilters )

Stray bullet hits Colorado Springs 12-year-old in leg

The Gazettedenverpost.comPosted: 12/22/2012 10:14:46 AM MSTDecember 22, 2012 5:25 PM GMTUpdated: 12/22/2012 10:25:55 AM MST

A 12-year-old boy in southern Colorado Springs was recovering Saturday morning after an "apparently random" shooting left him wounded in the leg.

Police say the boy was inside a home in the 100 block of Murray Boulevard, near Pikes Peak Avenue, when a shots were fired outside just before midnight, blasting the structure. One round hit the boy in the leg.

The boy was hospitalized and expected to survive, police said.

Police were nearby investigating several calls about gunfire in the vicinity of Murray Boulevard and Airport Road when they were called to the home of the injured boy.

No more dashing down 16th Street Mall for this one-horse, open sleigh

Font ResizeCops and CourtsBy Kirk Mitchell
The Denver Postdenverpost.comPosted: 12/22/2012 09:19:23 AM MSTDecember 22, 2012 6:2 PM GMTUpdated: 12/22/2012 11:02:14 AM MST

It was a Christmas-like emergency from the 19th century on the 16th Street Mall.

A horse and carriage crashed — with people trapped. It could have been Dec. 21, 1892. It was nostalgic up until the response.

Big Denver fire engines rushed to the scene with red lights flashing and sirens blaring.

The potential accident victims were tucked into their seats — a bit shaken but not hurt, said Scott Heiss, Denver fire spokesman.

The accident happened along the mall around Curtis and Arapahoe streets at about 10 p.m. Friday.

Passengers were getting a clippity-clop ride down the mall when the carriage suddenly cracked and splintered in half.

The horse-drawn vehicle broke just behind the driver.

The 911 call indicated passengers were trapped under the vehicle.

"It sounded kind of crazy, but luckily no one was hurt," Heiss said.

No one was actually trapped either, Heiss said.

When firefighters, arrived they helped the passengers — still tucked under warm blankets in their seats — climb out of the damaged carriage. Paramedics then looked them over to make sure no one was injured.

And then a tow truck with lights twirling was hooked up to the broken carriage and carted it away, Heiss said.

The horse also was not injured in the accident.

Better watch out: NORAD trademarks Santa operation

Font ResizeBy DAN ELLIOTT Associated PressAssociated PressPosted: 12/22/2012 09:56:06 AM MSTDecember 22, 2012 6:3 PM GMTUpdated: 12/22/2012 11:03:55 AM MST
DENVER—The U.S. military has clamped a trademark on its wildly popular NORAD Tracks Santa operation and licensed a private company to sell T-shirts and other goods—not to make money, officials insist, but to keep profiteers from cashing in.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command, which stages the Santa-tracking event from its headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., obtained the trademark this year.

The Defense Department's Branding and Trademark Licensing Office—yes, Virginia, there is a Pentagon trademark office—advised the military to sell NORAD Tracks Santa merchandise to cement its ownership of the name, said Navy Cmdr. Jeff Davis, a NORAD spokesman.

"We had a vulnerability by not having a NORAD Tracks Santa trademark," Davis said. "The vulnerability was that anyone could come along and sell merchandise or somehow use it to make a profit."

NORAD signed the licensing agreement in November with U.S. Allegiance of Bend, Ore., which specializes in licensed souvenirs and has worked other deals with the military.

The company launched http://www.itrackedsanta.com on Dec. 1. The biggest seller so far is a customized letter from Santa, said Steve Crawford, president of U.S. Allegiance. Another favorite is a red T-shirt that says "I tracked Santa 2012."

To Crawford's surprise, many orders are coming in from overseas. He said he plans to expand the line of goods next year to include languages other than English.

"The globalized popularity of NORAD Tracks Santa is really amazing," he said.

Davis said the move to trademark the operation was unrelated to Google's decision to launch its own Santa tracker this year. NORAD and Google parted ways by mutual agreement after working together from 2007 to 2011, he said.

NORAD is a joint U.S.-Canada command responsible for defending the skies over both countries and monitoring potential threats from the sea.

The story of how it began tracking Santa has become part of Christmas lore: A Colorado Springs newspaper ad in 1955 invited kids to call Santa, but a typo in the phone number had them calling the Continental Air Defense Command or CONAD, NORAD's predecessor, also in Colorado Springs.

CONAD commanders played along, and over the years the operation grew into today's viral hit.

The program generates the kind of global buzz that conjures visions of sugar plums dancing in a marketer's head. Last year its volunteers answered 102,000 phone calls in 23 hours and its website attracted 18.9 million unique visitors from 220 countries and territories in December alone. It also was getting requests from the public for merchandise, Davis said.

NORAD will get about 6 percent of the sales revenue from the merchandise, Davis said. NORAD hasn't projected how much money that will be but it won't be substantial, he said. Through the first three weeks of December, sales netted less than $200, he said.

The money will be used for the program, which Davis said operates solely with volunteers and corporate sponsors and gets zero tax dollars.
