Chemical Engineering > GATE 2016 > Cyclone Separator
In a cyclone separator used for separation of solid particles from a dust laden gas, the separation factor is defined as the ratio of the centrifugal force to the gravitational force acting on the particle. Sr denotes the separation factor at a location (near the wall) that is at a radial distance r from the centre of the cyclone. Which one of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A
(A) Sr depends on mass of the particle
B
(B) Sr depends on the acceleration due to gravity
C
(C) Sr depends on tangential velocity of the particle
D
(D) Sr depends on the radial location (r) of the particle

Correct : a
