However, these separators possess setback in terms of its efficiency. Alternatively, supersonic compact wet gas separators have been designed in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Gas Separation Research Center (UTPGSRC) which uses supersonic flow to separate natural gas and free water. In its preliminary design, determination of the flow behavior according to the design of the separators is important. The result provides information whether the design can be accepted or improvement should be taken into consideration. It is therefore an objective of this paper to numerically simulate and analyze the flow characteristic such as velocity, pressure and temperature distribution correlating with the separator design. From the flow performance results obtained, it shows that the separator design has fulfilled the requirement. © (2014) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84905828607&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.607.298&partnerID=40&md5=50e9f912dfc93abd19d2c2e0c073c37e id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.607.298 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 607 place_of_pub: Jeju Island pagerange: 298-302 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351801 issn: 16609336 citation: Hashim, F.M. and Ahmad, M.F.A.
