ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

A desktop computer is to be cooled by a fan at a high elevation where the air density is low. The mass flow rate of air through the fan and the diameter of the casing for a given velocity are to be determined.

We assume that flow through the fan is steady.

 The density of air at a high elevation is given to be  .
