A cyclone has a cut diameter of \( 12 \) micrometres. Halving the body diameter, with efficiency scaling as the square root of the body diameter, gives a cut diameter of about

  • A.6.0 micrometres
  • B.17.0 micrometres
  • C.24.0 micrometres
  • D.8.5 micrometres

Answer: D

The cut diameter falls by \( \sqrt{0.5} = 0.707 \), giving \( 12 \times 0.707 = 8.5 \) micrometres. The pressure drop rises steeply at the same time, which is the standing trade in cyclone design and the reason multiclones exist.
