Consider a centrifugal blower that has a radius of 20 cm and a blade width of 9 cm at the impeller inlet, and a radius of 45 cm and a blade width of 6 cm at the outlet. Assuming that air enters the impeller in the radial direction and exits at an angle of 60° from the radial direction, find the volumetric flow at a rotational speed of 700 rpm and power consumption of the blower is 150 W. Take the density of air to be 1.22 kg/m³.

Question
Consider a centrifugal blower that has a radius of 20 cm and a blade width of 9 cm at the impeller inlet, and
a radius of 45 cm and a blade width of 6 cm at the outlet. Assuming that air enters the impeller in the radial
direction and exits at an angle of 60° from the radial direction, find the volumetric flow at a rotational speed
of 700 rpm and power consumption of the blower is 150 W. Take the density of air to be 1.22 kg/m³.
