Question 2. A coal fired power station requires an ESP for dust removal from the flue gas. The influent flu gas has a concentration of 5200 mg/m3 of dust particles and a flow rate of 150 m3/s. The smallest particles in the gas stream are 1.5 um in diameter, and all particles have a dielectric constant of 5.5. The emission standard is 50 mg/m3. Assume a plate-to-plate spacing of 30 cm and an applied voltage of 15,000 volts. Each plate is 20 m long and 15 m high. Estimate – a) The particle drift velocity b) The required collection-plate area and number of plates required. Assume – Standard temperature and pressure.
