The Separation of Airborne Dust and Particles

This paper, which is based on a paper read at the Conference on Industrial Hygiene of the Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zagreb, 1950, is a study of the physical theory underlying various methods of separating particles from gases. Emphasis is entirely on fundamental considerations which lead to formulae of value to those concerned with the design and engineering of separators. New theories of the conical elutriator, the cyclone, and of fibrous filtration are put forward, together with graphs and tables which enable them to be applied, without difficulty, to practical problems.
