Question: A multi - tray settling chamber having 1 0 trays, including the bottom surface handles 9 m 3 / s of air at 2 0

A multi-tray settling chamber having 10 trays, including the bottom surface handles 9m3/s of air at 20\deg C. The trays are 0.32m apart and the chamber is to be 1m wide and 4m long. What is the particle size for a particle with density 3000kg/m^3 that can be collected with 75% efficiency? What is the ratio of particle sizes which can be collected efficiency to that which can be collected at 75% efficiency? Laminar flow condition within the chamber and presence of no dust initially on trays to be assumed. The viscosity of air(q) at 20\deg C is 1.81x10-5kg/m-s.
