Question
As shown in the figure, air with a volumetric flow rate of 17,000 ft°/min enters an air-handling unit at 80°F, 1 atm. The air-handling
unit delivers air at 45°F, 1 atm to a duct system with three branches consisting of two 26-in.-diameter ducts and one 50-in. duct. The
velocity in each 26-in. duct is 10 ft/s. Assume steady state operation and ideal gas behavior for the air.
-D = 50 in.
Duct
system
T2 = 13 = T1 = 45°F
D; = D, = 26 in.
V2 = V3
Air-handling unit
1+ Pi = P2 = P, = P4 = 1 atm
T = B0°F
(AV),
Determine the mass flow rate of air entering the air-handling unit, in Ib/s, the volumetric flow rate in each 26-in. duct, in ft/min, and
the velocity in the 50-in. duct, in ft/s.
