A baghouse treats \( 30 \) m\(^3\)/s with \( 900 \) m\(^2\) of fabric. Its air to cloth ratio is

  • A.3.3 m/s
  • B.0.033 m/s
  • C.30 m/s
  • D.0.30 m/s

Answer: B

Correct answer: 0.033 m/s

The air to cloth ratio is gas flow over fabric area:

\[ \frac{30}{900} = 0.033 \ \mathrm{m/s} \]

It has the units of a velocity and is often called the filtration velocity. Values around 0.01 to 0.02 m/s are usual for reverse air cleaning and 0.03 to 0.05 for pulse jet; too high a ratio drives dust into the fabric, raises the pressure drop and shortens bag life.
