A 3-m tall countercurrent spray chamber will be used to capture fly ash particles. Pilot research was
conducted to test efficiency of this device for capturing 8-\mu m particles. What is the efficiency of this device
given the following data from the experiment?
i.0.6 L/min of water are added for every 1 m3/min of air
ii. Superficial gas velocity =20 cm/s
iii. Droplet diameters average 400\mu m (0.040 cm)
iv. Fractional collection efficiency of a single droplet =0.50
