6.105 A centrifugal fan is used to pump air. The fan rotor is 1 ft in diameter, and the blade spacing is 2 in. The air enters with no angular momentum and exits radially with respect to the fan ro- tor. The discharge is 1500 cfm. The rotor spins at 3600 rev/min. The air is at atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 60°F. Neglect the compressibility of the air. Calculate the power (hp) required to operate the fan.
