Question
A sample stream of dry gas is being withdrawn from a stack. The stack gases are at 200oC and 730 mm Hg. The stream flows through a heated filter, a set of cooled impingers, a small air pump, and then through u How meter, as shown in Figure 1.5« The rate of flow is determined to be 30.0 litors/miuute at 20 °C and 790 mm Hg. If 1.42 mg of solid particles are collected on the filler in 30 minutes, calculate the concentration of particles in the stack gas (in Pg/m3}.
