Chapter 2, Problem 248E(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a fan located in a 3 ft 3 3 ft square duct. Velocities at various points at the outlet are measured, and the average flow velocity is determined to be 22 ft/s. Taking the air density to 0.075 lbm/ft3 , estimate the minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor.

QUESTION:
Consider a fan located in a 3 ft 3 3 ft square duct. Velocities at various points at the outlet are measured, and the average flow velocity is determined to be 22 ft/s. Taking the air density to 0.075 lbm/ft3 , estimate the minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
A fan accelerates air to a specified velocity in a square duct. The minimum electric power that must be supplied to the fan motor is to be determined.
We assume that the fan operates steadily and there are no conversion losses.
The density of air is given to be .
