An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with 5600 m? of collector plate area is 96 percent efficient in reating 185 m³/s of flue gas from a 200 MW nermal power plant. It was found that in order to chieve 97 percent efficiency, the collector plate rea should be 6100 m2. In order to increase the efficiency to 99 percent, the ESP collector plate area (expressed in m2) would be
