3.14 The following data refer to an axial flow blower with a single stage: Mass flow rate=0.75 kg/s Rotor tip and hub diameters= 24 cm and 16 cm Rotational speed = 3500 rpm As the air flows through the rotor, it turns through an angle of 22° away from the axial direction. Assuming standard atmospheric conditions and that the axial velocity is a constant, compute the degree of reaction and power input to the blower. Also, find the utilization factor. Inlet absolute velocity is purely axial.

Question
3.14 The following data refer to an axial flow blower with a single stage:
Mass flow rate=0.75 kg/s
Rotor tip and hub diameters=24 cm and 16 cm
Rotational speed=3500 rpm
As the air flows through the rotor, it turns through an angle of 22° away from
the axial direction. Assuming standard atmospheric conditions and that the axial
velocity is a constant, compute the degree of reaction and power input to the
blower. Also, find the utilization factor. Inlet absolute velocity is purely axial.
Ans: P=-252.8 kW; R=0.875
