Problem $2(50$ pts$)$

An ESP must treat $500,000$ acfm with $98\mathrm{.}4\%$ efficiency. Assuming an effective drift velocity of

$0\mathrm{.}4f\frac{t}{sec},$ each plate is $20ft$ tall by $10ft$ long, and there are $4$ mechanical fields:

a$)$ Calculate the required collection area in $f{t}^2.(10$pts$)$

b$)$ Calculate the actual collection area in $f{t}^2.(10$pts$)$

c$)$ Calculate the total number of plates. $(10$pts$)$

d$)$ Calculate the corona power required for this configuration of the ESP. $(10$pts$)$

Always check if your calculations are within the allowable range $($check point$).(5$pts$)$

All other variables and calculations, and clear excel file: $5pts$

Important note: this problem requires some calculations to be done differently from the excel

spreadsheets given. Make sure you understand how the estimations are done at each step.
