The impeller of a centrifugal blower has an exit diameter of 0.6 m, B2 = 30°, and operates at 3600 rpm. Air enters the blower axially at a pressure of 100 kPa at a temperature of 25°C into an inlet with a diameter of 0.2 m. The mass flow rate is 1 kg/s and the blade width is 5 cm. If the density at exit is 1.14 kg/m, compute the value of 1) B1, 2) power input, 3) the static pressure rise across the compressor assuming isentropic compression, 4) Total pressure rise. Take Cp = 1000 J/kgK and Ra = 287 J/kgK. %3D
