6.11 A pulse-jet baghouse is desired for a finished cement plant. Cal- culate the number of bags required to filter 500 mmin of air with a dust loading of 3.0 g/m³. Each bag is 3.0 m long wvith a 0.13 m diameter. If the average preesure drop is 1.0 kPa and the main fan is 60% efficient, calculate the fan power in kW. If the pulse air volumetric flow rate is 0.5% of the filter airflow rate and the pulse air pressure is 6.0 atm, calculate the power dirawn by a 50% efficient compressor (in kW).

Question

Estimate the total installed cost (in 1998 dollars) of the baghouse of Problem 6,11, assuming it is mild steel, is uninsulated, and uses 6-inch Nome^ bags on cages that snap in from the top, with built-in venturis.

culate the number of bags required to filter 500 mmin of air
with a dust loading of 3.0 g/m³. Each bag is 3.0 m long wvith a
0.13 m diameter. If the average preesure drop is 1.0 kPa and the
main fan is 60% efficient, calculate the fan power in kW. If the
pulse air volumetric flow rate is 0.5% of the filter airflow rate
and the pulse air pressure is 6.0 atm, calculate the power dirawn
by a 50% efficient compressor (in kW).
