φ=0.4908 cfs
160m3/ min. What is the mean

velocity of the air?

1 cfs= 448.833 gpm
Given:
∴ φ=0.4908 x 448.833

φ=220.32 gpm Discharge Q= 160 m3 / min

B.Weight Flow Rate

Q= 160/60 m3 / min
Let density of water= e= 1000kg/m2
Q=2.67 m3 / min

C.Mass Flow Rate (2.67)= (0.5 x 0.5) x Vsquare

Mass Flow Rate= e x 0.01389 Vsquare= 10.68 m/s

Mass Flow Rate= 1000 x 0.01389

Mass Flow Rate= 13.89 kg / sec

So, weight flow rate= 13.89 kg / sec x

9.81 m/ s2

weight flow rate=136.2609 n/sec
