A fan is installed in a residential building to provide proper ventilation. This fan is connected to a duct with 11.6 cm diameter and provides the average air velocity of 5 m/s. By regulation, the minimum fresh air requirement is specified to be 0.35 air changes per hour (ACH) which means 35% of the entire air contained in a room should be replaced by fresh outdoor air every hour.

Question

A fan is installed in a residential building to provide proper ventilation. This fan is
connected to a duct with 11.6 cm diameter and provides the average air velocity of 5
m/s. By regulation, the minimum fresh air requirement is specified to be 0.35 air
changes per hour (ACH) which means 35% of the entire air contained in a room should
be replaced by fresh outdoor air every hour.

Determine the flow capacity of the fan in litres/min and what the height of the residential building should be.
