 3.1 Find the migration velocity for an existing electrostatic precipitator (ESP),

3.1 Find the migration velocity for an existing electrostatic precipitator (ESP), which the collection plate area is 120m2, gas flow rate is 2.5m3/s, and collection efficiency is 99.5% ? (5) Hint: Use the Deutsch-Anderson equation. 3.2 Estimate the collecting plate area required for an ESP that is applied for removing fly ash in the gas stream emitted from a utility power plant. (5) Assuming that: (1) the designed collection efficiency is 99.5%, (2) the volumetric gas flow rate is 9,600m3/min (3) the resistivity of fly ash is 8109cm, and (4) the migration velocity w=7.2m/min. 3.3 Find the collection efficiency of a horizontal-flow, single-stage electrostatic precipitator consisting of two sections formed by plates 3.0m wide and 6.0m high on 25-cm centres, handling a gas flow of 2.5m3/s. Assume that the migration velocity is 12cm/s
