Question
Air at atmospheric pressure and at 25°C enters a
centrifugal blower when the rotor
is spinning at 900 rpm. The inner and outer
diameters of the rotor are 50 cm and
60 cm, respectively. Air enters the rotor radially and
makes angle of -68° with the
wheel tangent at the exit. The flow rate expected is
1.8 m3/s. If the efficiency, based
on stagnation enthalpy, is 88.1%, calculate the
power input, efficiency based on
static enthalpy, and the exit fluid angle.
Ans: n= 55.7%; exit fluid angle = 270°
