In the cyclone separator used for separation of dust from dust laden gas, the gas ?
Correct answer: B. Both B. and C.
- A. Enters the cyclone from the top
- B. Both B. and C.
- C. Develops a helical motion inside the chamber
- D. Is admitted tangentially at high velocity
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.
