Problem 3. (ESP) A single stage ESP operates with a voltage of 22 kV. The spacing between the collection electrodes of this single channel ESP is 10.0 cm and the anode-cathode spacing for the ESP is 5.0 cm. a) Calculate the electric migration velocity (wp) in m/s at 25°C in air for particles with the diameter 0.05 um, 0.5 µm and 5 µm. Assume the dielectric constant of the particles. Dp². is 10. Pressure is 1 atm. b) What assumption was made in the derivation of the equation for that may not be valid in for the calculation of the solution in a)? How would the calculated wp for the 0.05 µm particles change if we did not use that assumption? No need to calculate the value of wp. just describe the direction of its change (e.g., increases or decreases). c) Assuming the collection plates of the ESP are 3 m tall and 1 m long in the direction of gas flow and the gas velocity is 1.2 m/s. What is the graded collection efficiency of this ESP for the particle diameters in question a)? d) There are several modifications we could make to the ESP design to improve its collection efficiency. List one of those modifications and one tradeoff for implementing that change. (Multiple answers can be correct as long as you justify them).

Problem 1. (PM terminal settling velocity) Calculate terminal settling velocity (V) values for ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) particles versus particle diameter (d) at: 20°C and 760 mm Hg for dry air. Particle diameter ranges from 0.001 μm ≤d₂ ≤ 10 um. Plot Ve versus da for the described conditions in a plot with Vte on the ordinate and d on the abscissa. Use log scales for both axes. | Solution hints: Follow the steps in example class worksheet problem 2 (Wednesday-Week 4). Calculate Vi by assuming the gas flow is in Stokes region and particles are spherical. Check Stokes region assumption by calculating the particle Reynolds Number (Rep).

Problem 2. (Filtration) A fabric filter will be used downstream of a spray dryer to remove particulate material from a gas stream. Actual concentration of particulate matter is 10 g/m³ upstream of the fabric filter. A pilot plant was built and operated downstream of the spray dryer to characterize the behavior of the filter cake and fabric under actual conditions. Pilot plant data are presented below.

Using Figure 20.9, estimate the maximum downwind ground-level concentration (µg/m³) and the distance at which it occurs (m).
Unit 8 Question Welcome to Unit 8. In our previous unit, we learned about how to perform statistical modeling for engineered air quality, as well as to finish our air quality permit engineering calculations and analyze those calculated outcomes against the permit limits of the given state's Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) office. For this final unit, we will be learning to utilize pollution control technologies for engineered air quality control. This means that you can now consider the available air pollution control options, and mentally select which technologies would have been most appropriate for the work system that you just quantitatively analyzed for an air permit.

5. (3 pts) A student with an active SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19 coronavirus) infection walks into a classroom without a mask. Prior to the student entering the classroom, the air is free from SARS-CoV-2 viral particles. The student is emitting 1,000,000 viral particles per hour. The classroom has a floor size of 8 m by 7 m, and a ceiling height of 3 m. Assume that there areno other sources of SARS-CoV-2 in the building, that the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in the outdoor air is zero, and that there is no decay of the virus within the building. The air flow rate coming into the building (infiltration) and leaving the building (exfiltration) is 630m³/hour. a) Calculate the steady-state concentration of viral particles in the classroom if all conditions remain constant (viral particles/m³). b) Assume the viral particle concentration threshold for someone else in the room to catch Covid-19 is 200 viral particles per m³. How long would it take following the entry of the infected student for another student to catch the virus (in minutes)?
Question 1 An electrostatic precipitator has 3 ducts with plates 12 ft long and 10 ft high. The plates are 8 inches apart. Assuming a drift velocity (Le terminal velocity in an electrical field) of 0.4 ft/s, calculate the efficiency (in fractions, i.e., 0-1) if one duct is fed 40% of the gas and the other two 30% each. The total volume flow rate to be treated is 4000 acfm. Note: In each duct, both inner sides of the plates should be counted for the collection area.
