Combo examples fans and blowers

1 .Air enters a fan at an initial velocity of 7 m/s and a static vacuum pressure head
of 22.5 mm of water. The air is delivered at a velocity of 12 m/s and a static
pressure head of 81 mm of water. The fan has a capacity of 9.5 m3 /s and is
coupled to a 15 kW motor. Determine the total air power if the density of air is
1.2 kg/m3
2. Air is flowing with an initial and final velocity of 1.2 m/s and 8.3 m/s,
respectively, against a static pressure of 2.25 cm water gage. The duct diameter is
1.5 cm and the condition of air is at 99.5 kPa and 30°C. Determine the total
pressure in which the fan must operate (a) in meters of air and (b) in centimeters
of water.
3. Determine the brake horse power required for a fan with a static efficiency of
50% and delivers air at 1200 cfm. The static pressure developed is 2.5 inches of
water. Air is at 60°F and barometric pressure of 30 inches mercury.
4.A fan with a capacity of 1.5 m3 /s draws air at a static pressure of 3.0 cm of
water through a duct. The air drawn is measured at 27°C and 760 mmHg. If the
inlet and outlet duct is 320 mm and 280 mm, respectively, determine the fan
static efficiency when the total fan efficiency is 80%.
5.Determine the performance of a fan with a static pressure head of 6.20 cm of
water, speed of 410 rpm and initial power input of 3 kW. The capacity is changed
from 5.5 m3 /sec to 8.6 m3 /sec.
6.A fan delivering air through a ducting system that has a capacity of 100m3 /s,
static pressure head of 30 cm of water, speed of 420 rpm and initial power output
of 600 kW. Determine the performance of the fan if the air is to be delivered at
85°C and a barometric pressure 734 mmHg.
7.A fan has a capacity of 80 m3 /s, static pressure head of 22 cm of water, speed
of 380 rpm and initial power input of 400 kW. Determine the performance of the
fan when the air is to be delivered at 70°C and at the speed of 410 rpm.
