A settling chamber is to be used to collect particles of 50 micrometers diameter and 1400 kg/m3 density from a stream of air 1 atm and 300 degree kelvin with a volume flow rate of 2.5 m3/s. The overall chamber is 2m high, 4m wide and will have 25 trays including the bottom surface. Assuming laminar flow (a) How long is the chamber for 100 percent removal efficiency (b) What is the collection efficiency for particle sizes of 40, 30, 20 and 10 micrometers using the length found in part a
