Fluid Particle Dynamics FPD

As a consulting engineer, you have been contracted to modify an existing control device used in fly ash removal. The federal standards for emissions have been changed to a total numbers basis. Determine if the imit will meet an effluent standard of 10 particles/acf Data for the imit are given below. [Pg.267]

Average particle size, = 10 pm assume constant Particle specific gravity = 2.3 Inlet loading = 3.0 gr/ft [Pg.267]

Therefore, the unit will not meet a numbers standard. [Pg.267]

You have been requested to determine if a particle size distribution is log-normal. Data are provided below. [Pg.268]

Particulates discharged from an operation consist of a size distribution ranging anywhere from extremely small particles (less than 1 pm) to very large particles (greater than 100 pm). Particle size distributions are usually represented by a cumulative weight fraction curve in which the fraction of particles less than or greater than a certain size is plotted against the dimension of the particle.
