number of bags required for a continuous removal of particulate matter.

Problem 2.4.2. A bag house is to design to handle 1000 m3 /min of air. The filtration takes place at
constant pressure so that the air velocity through each bag decreases during the time between
clearing according to the relation 0.267 0.08 t 1 u   Where, u is in m3 /m2 min of cloth and t is
time in min.

has been suggested that the gas cooled to reduce the dust resistivity to 7×1010 Ω-cm assuming that
average dust thickness is 0.45 inch and that voltage difference between the charging walls and outer
surface of the dust layer is 30 kV must be maintained in both cases. Estimate the reduction in power
requirement that cooling the gas to get neglect the effect of gas temperature on charging and drift
velocity.
