Describe briefly, with the help ofdiagrams, two modifications to the basic design which offer greater sensitivity tosmall pressure differences. Give equations for their use.C. An extractor fan draws air from a room and delivers it to the surroundingsthrough a 5m long circular duct of diameter 0.1m. The friction coefficientfor the duct flow is 0.002. The fan characteristic, relating its total pressurerise, AP (Nm-2) to the volume flow rate is: AP = 10³–7×10ªQ?. What is therate of flow through the duct?You may assume that the room and surroundings are both at atmosphericpressure; state and justify any other assumptions you make.d.
