A flue gas contains mainly 15 micron sized particles (density 2000 kg/m3) to be removed by a cyclone collector. The body diameter is assumed to be 0.8m. A high efficiency mode is desired. The inletvelocity is 15 m/s with a density of 1.225 kg/m3. What is the efficiency of removal of the 15 micron sized particles?
