INTERCEPTION EFFICIENCY OF PARTICLE LADEN FLOW OVER A FINITE FLAT PLATE IN POTENTIAL FLOW REGIMES

Abstract

The direct interception efficiency of particles from potential flows past flat plate is obtained based on the Zhukovsky conversion. The efficiency predictions depend on filter solidity, length of the flat plate, orientation of the cross-section relative to the incoming flow, and particle diameter. The expressions demonstrate that the efficiency for flat plate generally increase with increasing particles, decreasing the orientation of the cross-section relative to the incoming flow.
