Discussion Solution 12.
Problem Statement
Select an appropriate air to cloth ratio for fly ash and estimate the number of bags required for a gas
flow rate of 15 m3/s. Assume each bag is 15 cm in diameter and 5 m in length and that bag cleaning is
by pulse jet.
(a) 255 bags
(b) 800 bags
(c) 1700 bags
(d) 50 bags
Solution
Given: Three choices
Choice b - "Clear winter night with fresh snow cover.” Because of snow cover radiative heating of the
ground is minimized (the snow reflects the solar radiation). On a clear night, the radiative cooling of
the ground is the greatest. This results in a very cold ground surface and, thus, the strongest inversion.
