Question

A house built on a riverside is to be cooled in summer by utilizing the cool water of the river. A 20-m-long section of a circular stainless-steel duct of 20-cm diameter passes through the water. Air flows through the underwater section of the duct at 4 m/s at an average temperature of 15°C. For an overall fan efficiency of 62 percent, determine the fan power needed to overcome the flow resistance in this section of the duct.
