Introduction: Cyclone separators are separation devices that use the principle of inertia to remove particulate matter from flue gases. Cyclone separator is one of many air pollution control devices known as pre-cleaners since they generally remove larger pieces of particulate matter. This prevents finer filtration…

  Use Gate valves are used to shut off the flow of liquids rather than for flow regulation. When fully open, the typical gate valve has no obstruction in the flow path, resulting in very low flow resistance. The size of the open flow path generally varies in a nonlinear manner as the gate is moved. This means that…

Combustion of an organic fuel in air is always exothermic because the double bond in O2 is much weaker than other double bonds or pairs of single bonds, and therefore the formation of the stronger bonds in the combustion products CO2 and H2O results in the release of energy.  The bond energies in the fuel play only…
