The impeller of a centrifugal blower has a radius of 18 cm and a blade width of 6.1 cm at the inlet, and a radius of 30 cm and a blade width of 3.4 cm at the outlet. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disregarding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volumetric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 900 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W. Also determine the normal components of velocity at the inlet and outlet of the impeller.

At the end of the compressor in a jet engine, a diffuser receives air through its 0.6m2
inlet at 175m/s and a temperature and pressure of -15°C and 85kPa, respectively. The
outlet velocity of the diffuser is extremely low and can be assumed to be negligible
compared to the inlet.
(a)
Draw a sketch of the diffuser with a system boundary for a control volume and
label the values of area, pressure, temperature and velocity at its inlet and outlet.
Assume the air is an ideal gas and determine the mass flow rate through the
diffuser. Assume the specific gas constant to be 287J/kg.K.
Use the steady flow energy equation to find the change in enthalpy for the air
through the diffuser.
