helpAs a graduate student you have been assigned the task of studying certain process factors

in an operation in Kulim, Kedah that employs three cyclones in series to treat catalyst$-$

laden gas at $25C$ and $1$atm. The inlet loading to the cyclone series is $8\mathrm{.}24g\frac{r}{f}t3,$ and the

volumetric flow rate is $1,000,000$acfm. The efficiency of the cyclones are $93\%,84\%$ and

$73\%,$ respectively. Calculate the following:

a$)$ Daily mass of catalyst collected $($lb$/$day$).$

b$)$ Daily mass of catalyst discharged to the atmosphere.

c$)$ Whether it would be economical to add an additional cyclone $($efficiency $52\%)$ costing

an additional $$300,000$ per year. $($The cost of the catalyst is $$0\mathrm{.}75$ per pound.$)$
