What is the difference between grit chamber and primary settling tank?

Are you sure that's difference and not just a half-witted example of sameness?


What mean by surface finish in engineering drawing?

the smoothness of the surface basically. i.e. 1000 grit sandpaper would have 1000 particles of grit per cm or inch. 200 grit would be much rougher as the particals are bigger, as there are only 200 per unit of measurment. hope this helps


Define the material of grit in grit blasting?

The grit is chosen to be suitable for the job in hand. It must be hard/abrasive enough to remove whatever is contaminating the surface, but soft enough not to damage the surface underneath. At one extreme you might use corundum or silicon carbide, at the other, products such as ground cork or walnut shell are used.

How efficiency improve in settling chamber?

First, I am assuming you mean "How do I improve the efficiency of a Gravity Settling Chamber?" The efficiency of a settling chamber is given by: n= (Ut*L)/(H*U) where: 'Ut' is the terminal velocity of the particle you wish to separate 'L' is the length of the settling chamber 'H' is the height of the settling chamber 'U' is the mean gas velocity within the settling chamber 'n' is the efficiency of the settling chamber As can be seen by the formula, to improve the efficiency the settling chamber you can make the chamber longer, or you can slow the mean gas velocity within the chamber, allowing more particles to fall within the given chamber dimensions. Settling chambers are typically long already with a low mean gas velocity so juggle between these two main ideas and find what you believe will work best in relation to the amount of product you need to make.
