With increase in pressure drop (for a given particle size), the dust collection efficiency of a cyclone separator will________________?
Correct answer: A. Increase
- A. Increase
- B. Decrease
- C. Remain unaffected
- D. Increase or decrease depending on the nature of the dust
Explanation
For a fixed particle size, a higher cyclone pressure drop usually means higher gas inlet velocity, which increases centrifugal force and improves particle separation. The improvement is normally accompanied by greater energy consumption.
