    COMBO 2 FANS AND BLOWERS

    PROBLEM SET:
    1. The power output of a fan is 120 kW with efficiency of 80%. Determine the
    horsepower output required by the motor to drive the fan. (Ans. 201 hp)
    2. The static head of a fan is measured to be 160 mm of water gage at an air
    velocity of 25 m/s. Find the air power at an air condition of 28°C and 98 kPa with a
    volume flow rate of 5 m3 /s. (Ans. 9.6 kW)
    3. Determine the horsepower required for a fan delivering 35 ft/sec of air through
    a 2.3 ft x 3.5 ft duct with a total pressure of 3.5 in water gage. Take density of air
    to be 0.075 lb/ft3 . (Ans. 9.3 hp)
    4. A fan operating at a standard air condition registered a total static head of 230
    mm of water gage. If the static efficiency is 65% and the fan efficiency is 80%
    determined the velocity of air if the volume of air delivered is 6 m3 /s. (Let the
    velocity head to be 35% of the static head). (Ans. 34.6 m/s)
    5. A fan initially operating at a speed of 380 rpm at an air temperature of 26°C. If
    the speed is increased to 460 rpm with 55°C, determine the new head in mm of
    water gage for an initial head 190 mm of water gauge. (Ans. 253.8 mm)
    6. What is the horsepower required for a fan to deliver 230 ft3 /sec of air through
    a 2.5 ft x 4.5 ft duct under a total pressure of 4.2-in water gage? (Ans. 0.35 hp)
    7. The rating of a fan is 610 m3 /min when running at 360 rpm and requires 8 kW
    motor to drive it. If the fan speed is increased to 620 rpm and the air handled
    becomes 60°C instead of 30°C, determine the power in kW. (Ans. 37.1 kW)
    8. A fan has a static head of 110 m at a pressure of 1.5 kg/cm2 and 75°F. If the air
    velocity is 18 m/s, determine the total equivalent head in mm of water gage. (Ans.
    145.61 mmWG)
