Question: ( b ) A cyclone is used to separate particulate material from air. The cyclone has specifications of: body diameter = 1 m , height

(b) A cyclone is used to separate particulate material from air. The cyclone has specifications of: body diameter =1m, height of inlet
=15cm, width of inlet =15cm, length of cone =1.2m, length of body =1.8m. Flow rate of air-particulate mixture is 200m3min. Density of the particle is 1800kgm3. Density and viscosity of air are 1.204kgm3 and 1.8110-5kgm.s.
Particle size distributions are as follows:
