Question

An axial-fl ow blower delivers 40 ft3/s of air that enters at
20°C and 1 atm. The flow passage has a 10-in outer radius
and an 8-in inner radius. Blade angles are α1 = 60° and
β2 = 70°, and the rotor runs at 1800 r/min. For the
first stage compute (a) the head rise and (b) the power
required.
