In the cyclone separator used for separation of dust from dust laden gas, the gas ?

Correct answer: D. Both B. and C.

  • A. Enters the cyclone from the top
  • B. Is admitted tangentially at high velocity
  • C. Develops a helical motion inside the chamber
  • D. Both B. and C.

Explanation

Dust-laden gas enters a cyclone tangentially at high velocity, creating a helical vortex that drives particles toward the wall by centrifugal action. Both statements B and C describe the separation mechanism.
