Coarse suspended particles are separated from flowing gas in a dust catcher. With all other factors equal, which configuration gives the greatest gas–solid separation?
Configuration A delivers the gas–particle stream deeply downward and takes gas out near the top. Coarse particles continue downward by inertia and gravity while gas turns upward, favouring separation. The lower side outlets in the other arrangements more readily carry particles with the gas. Thus A.
