Question: A settling chamber that is 1 2 m long, 2 m high, and 2 m wide processes 2 4 0 m ^ 3 / m

A settling chamber that is 12 m long, 2 m high, and 2 m wide processes 240 m^3/m of air at a temperature of 75\deg C. Determine the maximum size of the particle with specific gravity of 1.8 that is removed with a theoretical efficiency of 100 percent.
remember the shape here is cylindrical not rectangular .
use the following equations Equation 9-1: vtH=vhL
vt : Terminal settling velocity, which is the constant speed at which a particle settles in a fluid.
H : Height of the settling chamber, measured in meters (m).
vh : Horizontal flow-through velocity, which is the speed of the gas flow moving horizontally
through the chamber, measured in meters per second (ms).
L : Length of the settling chamber, measured in meters (m).
Derived equation: vt=vhHL
This equation is derived by solving for vt from Equation 9-1.
Substitution into Eq.(7-3): vhHL=g(p-a)dp218
A settling chamber that is 1 2 m long, 2 m high,
