Problem-9, Civil (Environmental Engg.) An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with 5600 m2 of collector plate area is 96 percent efficient in treating 185 m3/s of flue gas from a 200 MW thermal power plant. It was found that in order to achieve 97 percent efficiency, the collector plate area should be 6100 m2. In order to increase the efficiency to 99 percent, find the ESP collector plate area (expressed in m²).
A power plant in rough terrain has a 100-m stack with an inside radius of 1 m. The plant emits 300 g/s of SO2 from the stack with an exit velocity of 10 m/s at a temperature of 120oC. Ambient temperature is 6oC and the temperature increases at a rate of 2 K/km. At 10 m above ground, surface windspeed is 1.5 m/s on a mostly cloudy night. Find the concentration (mg/m3) of SO2: Directly downwind at a distance of 2 km. At a point located 2 km downwind and 0.1 km off the downwind axis. At the point downwind where it is a maximum. Approximately how far from the stack does this occur?
Efficiency of an ESP is a function of the flue gas characteristics (temperature and moisture), electrical resistivity of the particle and particle size, can be estimated by the Deutsch-Anderson equation: η = 1 − exp (−Aw/Q) Calculate the efficiency of ESP has a specific area of collection plate as 100 m2, drift velocity 1 m/s and flow rate of flue gas as 40 m/s.

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.
A flue gas contains mainly 15 micron sized particles (density 2000 kg/m3) to be removed by a cyclone collector. The body diameter is assumed to be 0.8m. A high efficiency mode is desired. The inletvelocity is 15 m/s with a density of 1.225 kg/m3. What is the efficiency of removal of the 15 micron sized particles?
