A settling chamber \( 6 \) m long and \( 2 \) m high passes gas at \( 0.6 \) m/s. The minimum settling velocity for complete collection is

  • A.0.60 m/s
  • B.1.80 m/s
  • C.0.20 m/s
  • D.0.05 m/s

Answer: C

Residence time is \( 6/0.6 = 10 \) s, and a particle must fall 2 m in that time, requiring \( 0.20 \) m/s. Settling velocities of that order belong to particles well above a hundred micrometres, which shows how limited the device is.
