MO Assignment Questions

The document provides 4 assignment questions related to particle separation processes: the first two questions ask to calculate cut particle diameters for a cyclone separator and ESP, the third asks to derive an equation for cut particle diameter in a cyclone, and the fourth, referred to as problem 30.4, asks to calculate constants for a constant pressure filtration process. Hard copies of answers are due by Monday at 5 PM and graph paper must be used for problems 3 and 4.

Assignment Questions:

1. Derive the cut-particle diameter of reverse flow cyclone separator based on the force
balance across particles in swirling motion.
2. Air carrying particles of density 1800 kg/m3 and average diameter of 20 micron enters the
cyclone separator at liner velocity of 18 m/s. Diameter of cyclone separator is 600mm.
Specification of cyclone separator follow high efficiency stairmand design. Estimate the cut-
particle diameter and what fraction of particles would be removed from the gas stream.
3. Gas stream carrying particles follow the rosin-ramler distribution with b = 0.307 and n
=1.727 is passed through ESP to separate the particles. Particles collected at electrode plates
also follows the R-R distribution with b = 0.224 and n = 1.116. If the overall efficiency is 80%,
what is the cut particle diameter.
4. Following data was taken in a constant-pressure filtration of a slurry of CaCO3 in H2). Filter
was a 6-in filter press with an area of 1 ft2. The mass fraction of solids in the feed was 0.139.
Calculate α, Rm and cake thickness. Temperature is 700F.

Problem 4 is referred as Problem 30.4 in the below question.

Last four questions taken from Mc Cabe and Smith book.


Instructions:

Engineering Department (Annex building).

For solving Problem 3 and 4, graph paper should be used. Excel graphs are not accepted.
