. Operating principle of cyclone separator is based on the action of _______________ dust particles?
Correct answer: B. Centrifugal force on
- A. Diffusion of
- B. Centrifugal force on
- C. Gravitational force on
- D. Electrostatic force on
Explanation
A cyclone separator spins the gas-solid mixture, forcing denser dust particles outward by centrifugal force so they fall along the wall. Gravity assists collection, but centrifugal action is the operating principle.
