1.Provide a reasonable design for a 99% efficient ESP treating 7500 m^3/min of gas. The particles have an effective drift velocity of 10.0 cm/s. Specify the total plate area, channel width, number and size of plates, number of electrical sections (total and in direction of flow), and total corona power to be supplied, and estimate the overall dimensions.
2.A W16x77 section of A992 steel is to serve on a 0-ft simply supported span. The wall bearing length is 10 inches. What maximum slowly moving concentrated service load (25% dead load, 75% live load) may be carried?"
What to do about the dead/live percentages? Also, how do factor in the wall bearing length?!
