The electronic components of a computer are cooled by air flowing through a fan mounted at the inlet of the electronics enclosure. At steady state, air enters at 20 °C, 1 atm. For noise control, the velocity of the entering air cannot exceed 1.3 m/s. For temperature control, the temperature of the air at the exit cannot exceed 32 °C. The electronic components and fan receive, respectively, 80 W and 18 W of electric power. Determine the smallest fan inlet diameter, in cm, for which the limits on the entering air velocity and exit air temperature are met.

Question
The electronic components of a computer are cooled by air flowing
through a fan mounted at the inlet of the electronics enclosure. At steady
state, air enters at 20 °C, 1 atm. For noise control, the velocity of the
entering air cannot exceed 1.3 m/s. For temperature control, the
temperature of the air at the exit cannot exceed 32 °C. The electronic
components and fan receive, respectively, 80 W and 18 W of electric
power. Determine the smallest fan inlet diameter, in cm, for which the
limits on the entering air velocity and exit air temperature are met.
