A baghouse (filters) that employs a shaker collection method is being designed to remove 99.75% of incoming stream of sawdust particles originating from a sawmill plant. The manufacturer has specified a woven fabric for cylindrical bags having dimension of 15 cm in diameter and 6 m long. If the filters are treating 450 m3 /min of polluted air, calculate the total fabric area required, and the number of bags required. Assuming that the terminal velocity for sawdust is 1.1 m/min.

An ESP was designed to treat 5500 m3/mm of flue gas from a coal combustion unit and achieve a 98,5% PM removal efficiency. A certain drift velocity was assumed. The unit was built with exactly the collect ion. area called for in the design, but by the time the unit was started up, the actual flow rate had increased to 5900 m3/min, and the actual efficiency was really 98,5%,. Was the actual drift velocity the same as had been assumed? Prove your answer mathematically.
It was decided to construct a fabric filter, using bags of 0.45 m diameter and 7.5 m long, for removing industrial stack gas containing particulates. The expected rate of airflow into the filter is 10m3/ s. If the filtering velocity is 2.0 m/min, the minimum number of bags (rounded to nearest higher integer) required for continuous cleaning operation is
For a fixed gas flow rate and drift velocity, calculate the ratio of plate areas for two precipitators—one at 90% efficiency and the other at 99% efficiency,
An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is currently used to remove fly ash from a stream of 100 m³/s flue gas with 95% efficiency based on mixed flow (turbulent) model. Each collection plate is 3.5 m. tall and 8.0 m. long. The drift velocity of fly ash is 0.25 m/s. The flue gas velocity passing through the ESP unit is 2 m/s. The width of this ESP unit (normal to the gas flow) is 10 m. Determine the followings. a) Total plate surface area b) Total number of plates in the ESP unit c) Plate spacing (distance between the adjacent plates)
Sketch a typical Streeter-Phelps oxygen-sag curve and state the limitations of the Streeter-Phelps equation shown below: k, Lo -kt D= k2 – k -e (b) Wastewater discharges through an outfall into a slow moving river that has a mean velocity of 3 cm/s. After initial mixing, the dissolved oxygen concentration in the river is 9.5 mg/L, and the temperature is 20°C. The ultimate BOD of the mixed river water is 30 mg/L, the rate constant for BOD at 20°C is 0.48 di and the re-aeration constant at the same temperature is 0.72 d. The saturation concentration of oxygen is 10.2 mg/L at 15°C. i. Estimate the critical time, to, and location, X., with reference to dissolved oxygen concentration. ii. Estimate the minimum dissolved oxygen at the critical location, and comment on the ecological implication of the same.
A nozzle inclined at an angle of 68° with the horizontal issues a 90-mm-diameter water jet at a rate of 17 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, what is the area (in sq. m.) of the jet at the highest point of the projectile?
The three statements below all refer to standard single-barrel reverse flow cyclones used to remove particulate matter from air. For each statement, indicate whether it is True or False and explain your reasoning. a) If a cyclone has a collection efficiency of 25% for a specific-sized particle, then it can be expected always to have a collection efficiency of 50% if the particle size doubles, assuming all else remains constant. b) If a cyclone has a collection efficiency of 25% for a particle having a specified density, then it can be expected always to have a collection efficiency of 50% if the particle density doubles, assuming all else remains constant. c) To a single decimal place, the effective number of turns made in traversing a standard cyclone is always 37.7, independent of the cyclone size and air flow rate into the cyclone.
A cyclone is designed to collect dusts. Increasing gas flow rate at the inlet can increase the efficiency without changing the cyclone. How much must the flowrate increase in volume flow if the critical particle diameter is reduced to half?
