1. It is desired to use 28.32 m 3 /min of air (metered at a pressure of 101.3 kPa and 294.1 K) in a process. This amount of air which is at rest enters the fan suction at a pressure of 741.7 mm Hg and a temperature of 366.3 K and is discharged at a pressure of 769.6 mm Hg and a velocity of 45.7 m/s. A centrifugal fan having a fan efficiency of 60% is to be sued. Calculate the brake-kW power needed.
