A baghouse from a mass-burn incinerator unit holds a total of 48 bags for particulate removal. A single bag is cylindrical in shape and measures 30 cm diameter and 5 m length. What is the filtering area of the bag? If the baghouse unit (48 bags) is to treat 14,500 m3/h of flue gas, calculate the effective filtration velocity in meters per minute and the mass of particles collected daily if the inlet loading is 125 g/m3 and the unit operates at 95% collection efficiency. Note that 1 kg of collected residue is ~15,430 grains.
