The principle of operation of an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is based on the charging of particles in a gas stream by applying a high-voltage electric field. The charged particles are then attracted to oppositely charged plates within the ESP and are collected, removing them from the gas stream. This process helps to control air pollution by removing particulate matter from industrial emissions.

How does an electrostatic precipitator work and what does it remove?

An electrostatic precipitator works by using an electric charge to remove particles like dust and smoke from the air. The device attracts the particles to metal plates, where they collect and can be removed.


What machine which works on the principle of gr avity and high speed is the?

A roller coaster is a machine that works on the principle of gravity and high speed. Riders experience thrilling drops and loops as the coaster's design and momentum use gravity for propulsion and energy.


Fountain pen works on principle of?

A fountain pen works on the principle of capillary action, where ink is drawn out through a feed and into the nib by the combination of gravity and the surface tension of the liquid. This allows for a controlled flow of ink onto the paper when the pen is in use.


Does a rocket works on principle of conservation of mass?

Yes, a rocket works on the principle of conservation of mass. It follows Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. By expelling mass (propellant) at high speed in one direction, the rocket is propelled in the opposite direction.


What is a electro static smoke percipitator?

An electrostatic (one word, not two) smoke precipitator is an apparatus which ionises the gas in a space. The ionised gas molecules attract smoke particles which agglomerate and, when they have reached a sufficient size they fall to the ground under their own weight.
