A particulate sample in an air stream is represented by the following weight percent distribution: 5micrometers, 10%; 10 micrometers, 20%, 40 micrometers, 40%, 70 micrometers, 20%; 100 micrometers, 10 percent. A cyclone seperator is employed on the basis of the following data: inlet width, 12 inches; effective turns, 4; inlet gas velocity, 20ft/s; particle density, 1.6 g/cm3; gas density, 0.074 lb/ft3, gas viscosity, 0.045 lb/ft hr. Estimate the percentage of the total weight removed in the cyclone. b) If the volume flow rate is double, all other parameters remaining the same, estimate the percent total weight removed
