Analysis and Procedures for Material Selection

The term material selection means to select the right material for various engineering applications. There are various engineering materials available and each has different individual properties. Thorough knowledge of the material properties and behavior is crucial in the design process. For instance, a structural member, such as a beam, is used to support vertical shear loads by the building itself. To withstand such loads, the material of the beam must possess adequate strength and stiffness to resist any deformation that might lead to the formation of cracks.

Question

Q1
A gravitational settling chamber is to be installed in a factory to remove particulate matter. As an
engineer of the factory, you are assigned to design the size of the chamber. The minimum diameter
of particles to be removed is 10 um. Due to the restriction of the ceiling, the chamber could only
have a height of 2m. What is the required length of the chamber?

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is currently used to remove fly ash from a stream of 100 m³/s flue gas with 95% efficiency based on mixed flow (turbulent) model. Each collection plate is 3.5 m. tall and 8.0 m. long. The drift velocity of fly ash is 0.25 m/s. The flue gas velocity passing through the ESP unit is 2 m/s. The width of this ESP unit (normal to the gas flow) is 10 m. Determine the followings. a) Total plate surface area b) Total number of plates in the ESP unit c) Plate spacing (distance between the adjacent plates)
