centrifugal blower is designed to draw 28m^3/min of carbon dioxide at 32C and 21 kPa gage and compresses it to 35 Kpa gage when operating at 4000 rpm. It is to be tested with air at 101.325 kPa and 21 C and driven by a motor at running at 3550 rpm. Determine the flow rate which the machine should deliver at design point on test to be acceptable.

Question

A centrifugal blower is designed to draw 28m^3/min of carbon dioxide at 32C and 21 kPa gage and compresses it to 35 Kpa gage when operating at 4000 rpm. It is to be tested with air at 101.325 kPa and 21 C and driven by a motor at running at 3550 rpm. Determine the flow rate which the machine should deliver at design point on test to be acceptable. Overall blower efficiency is 70%. Also calculate  the BHP which the machines should deliver at design point on test to be acceptable
