An operator raises aspirator air velocity above the grain's terminal velocity to be certain of removing all chaff. This is

  • A.Correct only for damp grain
  • B.Wrong: sound grain goes with it
  • C.Correct, and standard practice
  • D.Correct provided the cyclone is large enough

Answer: B

Correct answer: Wrong: sound grain goes with it

The air velocity has to sit between the terminal velocity of what is to be removed and that of what is to be kept. Raising it above the grain’s own terminal velocity lifts the grain as well, so the chaff is certainly removed but so is the product. The correct setting is a margin below the grain’s terminal velocity.
