A pulse-jet baghouse is desired for a finished cement plant. Calculate the number of bags required to filter 500 m3/min of air with a dust loading of 3.0 g/m3. Each bag is 3.0 m long with a 0.13 m diameter. If the average pressure 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 drawn by a 50% efficient compressor (in kW)
