Table 6.1 Effect of Varying Face Velocity to Separation Efficiency

Air blower speed Experiment

(rpm) efficiency (%)

2000 200 87.98 43.99

1500 200 85.62 42.81

Calculation for Experiment Efficiency (%) :

Air blower speed (rpm) Efficiency (%)

Efficiency (%) for 2000 rpm = = (87.98/200) x 100%

= 43.99%

= (85.62/200) x 100%
Efficiency (%) for 1500 rpm
.8= 421%
