2. A fan discharges 265 cu.m/min of air through a duct of 92 cm in diameter against a static pressure of 0.022 m of water. The fluid density is 995 kg/cu.m., the air temperature is 29°C and the barometric pressure reading is 730 mm Hg. If the power input to the fan is measured 3.5 hp, what are the total and static fan efficiencies?
A centrifugal pump operating under steady flow conditions delivers 2285 kg/min of water from an initial pressure of 82720 Pa to a final pressure of 275840 Pa. The diameter of the inlet pipe to the pump is 15.20 cm and the diameter of the discharge pipe is 10.5cm. What is the work in kW? [Pwater=1000 kg/m³]
A forced draft centrifugal fan draws air at 1.32 cubic meter/sec towards a combustion chamber of a steam generator. The static pressures are 15mm. water below atmospheric at suction and 10mm. water above atmospheric at the discharge. The inlet duct is 30cm in diameter and the discharge duct is 27cm in diameter.
