Question: 5 . 1 A 9 8 % efficient ESP is to treat a gas stream flowing at 5 0 0 0 m ^ ( 3

5.1 A 98% efficient ESP is to treat a gas stream flowing at 5000m^(3)/min. If the effective drift velocity is 6.0cm/s, calculate (a) the plate area (required and actual) in m^(2), and (b) the number of plates if each plate is 6m by 10m, and there are 3 sections in the direction of flow. 5.2 Assume that the ESP of Problem 5.1 is built with an actual collection area of 5400m^(2). Now suppose that the actual drift velocity turns out to be 5.0cm/s and the actual gas flow turns out to be 5500m^3/min. Calculate the actual efficiency.
