A cyclone separator is operating in conditions where D(cut)=10 um. We are offered another cyclone that is of the same design, but all the dimensions are one-half as big as the present one. If we feed the same air stream (same total volumetric flow rate, same particle loading, same particle size distribution) to this new cyclone, what will the new value of D(cut) be? Assume that Eq.(9.18) is applicable.
