Deutsch-Anderson efficiency for a precipitator at four plate areas, with a migration velocity of 0.10 m/s and a flow of 100 m3/s.

Plate area (m2)Exponent Aw/QEfficiency (per cent)
20002.086.5
40004.098.2
60006.099.75
80008.099.97

What does the table show about the cost of high efficiency?

  • A.Efficiency falls as area rises
  • B.Equal area increments give smaller gains
  • C.Efficiency rises linearly with area
  • D.Area has little effect on efficiency

Answer: B

The first two thousand square metres buy 86.5 points and the last two thousand buy about a fifth of one. Thinking in penetration rather than efficiency makes the pattern obvious, since penetration simply falls by a constant factor each time.
