A boiler requires 100 000 m3/hr of standard air. The mechanical efficiency of fan to be installed is 70%. Determine the size of driving motor needed assuming fan can deliver a pressure head of 160mm of water and outlet velocity of 20m/s.
ANSWER: 60 kw
The air velocity in the duct of a heating system is to be measured by a Pitot-static probe inserted into the duct parallel to flow. If the differential height between the water columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 2.4 cm, determine the flow velocity at the center of the duct in m/s. R of air is 287 J/Kg-K.
Air is flowing through a venturi meter whose diameter is 2.6 in at the entrance part
(location 1) and 1.8 in at the throat (location 2). The gage pressure is measured to
be 12.3 psia at the entrance and 11.8 psia at the throat. The density of air is given to
be p = 0.075 lbm/ft³. Neglecting frictional effects, show that the volume flow rate
can be expressed as
V = A₂
2(P₁-P₂)
P(1-11)
and determine the flow rate of air.
