Tutorial 1 Air

The document provides information about three different air pollution control devices: 1) A cyclone with specified particle size distribution data and cyclone design parameters to determine the cut size and overall collection efficiency. 2) An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with inlet and outlet particulate loadings and particle migration velocities in each section to calculate the required total surface area and mass of particles captured in each section. 3) An ESP with given plate area, gas flowrate, and particle migration velocity to calculate the collection efficiency using the Deutsch design equation.

TUTORIAL 1 (AIR POLLUTION)

CYLONE
1. a). An engineer was requested to determine the cut size and overall collection efficiency of a
cyclone given the particle size distribution of a dust from a cement kiln. Particle size
distribution and other pertinent data are provided below.

Assume the Lapple design; gas density is negligible; gas viscosity = 0.02 cP; specific gravity
of the particle = 2.9; Inlet gas velocity to cyclone = 50 ft/s; effective number of turns within
cyclones = 5; W of cyclone = 0.25 m.

ESP
1 A duct-type precipitator is to be used to clean 47.2 actual m3/s of an industrial gas stream
containing particulates. The proposed design of the precipitator consists of three bus sections
(field) arranged in series, the first being a third greater than the second; and the second and
the third sections are the same. The inlet loading has been measured as 668 grains/m 3, and a
maximum outlet loading of 3.2 grains/m3 is allowed by the local air-pollution regulations.
The particle migration velocity for the particles has been experimentally determined in a
similar installation, with the following results:
First section (inlet): 0.11 m/s
Second section (middle): 0.107 m/s
Third section: 0.103 m/s
a. What is the total surface area required?
b. Calculate the total mass flowrate of particles captured in each section (1 lb = 7000
grains).
2. If the plate collection area of an ESP is 6000 m2, the as flowrate is 10,000 m3/min, and the
particle migration velocity is 0.105 m/s, find the efficiency of the ESP using the Deutsch
design equation.
