Question

In a centrifugal blower (Figure Q1) air enters in to the blower normal to the blades (a1 = 0°), and exits at 40°
from the radial direction (∞2=40°). The blower rotates at w = 200 rad/s. The inlet radius r1 = 4 cm, and inlet width
b1 = 6 cm. The outlet radius r2 = 10 cm and outlet width b2 = 3 cm. Assuming 100% etticiency and considering 0.2
m3/s flow rate, calculate
a) the net head produced by the blower

b) the breaking horsepower in watt.
