A precipitator passes \( 0.4 \) per cent of the inlet dust. Its efficiency is

  • A.40 per cent
  • B.99.6 per cent
  • C.96.0 per cent
  • D.99.996 per cent

Answer: B

Efficiency is one minus the penetration, so \( 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 \). Quoting penetration rather than efficiency makes the comparison between good devices far clearer, since 99.6 and 99.8 per cent differ by a factor of two in what escapes.
