Solve the following problems. Show your complete solution for each problem. Express your final answer to three
(3) decimal places. Box your final answer. WRITE LEGIBLY. AVOID ERASURES.

1. A small blower handle 43.33 m3 of air per minute whose density is 1.169 kg/m3. The static and
velocity heads are 16.38 and a.122 cm WG (at 15.6 oC) respectively. Local gravity acceleration is
9.471 m/s2. Find the power input to the air from the blower.

2. The fan has a total head of 190 m and a static pressure of 20 cm WG. If the air density is 1.15
kg/m3, what is the velocity of air flowing?

3. A fan delivers 4.7 m3/s at a static pressure of 5.08 cm of water when operating at a speed of 400
rpm. If the power input required is 2.963 kW and if on the same installation 7.05cm3/s is desired,
find the static pressure in cm of water?

4. At standard air density a fan delivers 8 m3/s against 0.05 m static pressure consuming 12 BkW. If
it will operate in Baguio City where due to high altitude the air density is only 82.4% of the
standard air density, what is the new BkW?
