What is the efficiency of a conventional cyclone for a particle size smaller than 5 microns?

What is the efficiency of a conventional cyclone for a particle size smaller than 5 microns? Correct Answer Less than 50%

For a conventional cyclone, the efficiency of collection of a particle smaller than 5 microns is less than 50%. This value is generalised from the generalised design configurations of a conventional cyclone.

How is permaculture farming different from conventional chemical farming? 1. Permaculture farming discourages monocultural practices but in conventional chemical farming, monoculture practices are predominant. 2. Conventional chemical farming can cause an increase in soil salinity but the occurrence of such phenomenon is not observed in permaculture farming. 3. Conventional chemical farming is easily possible in semi-arid regions but permaculture farming is not so easily possible in such regions. 4. Practice of mulching is very important in permaculture farming but not necessarily so conventional chemical farming Select the correct answer using the code given below.
