10(c) A waste stream contains particles of three sizes: large, medium, and small. The large, medium and small particles account for 50%,30% and 20% by weight in the gas stream, respectively. We pass this gas stream through a collector that is 99% efficient on large particles, 75% efficient on medium particles, and 30% efficient on small particles, (i) what is the overall weight percent efficiency of this collector? (ii) If we add two more collectors, identical to the first collector, downstream of it, what will the overall collection efficiency be?
