Inside of a room, the atmospheric pressure measures out to be 100 kPa. A pipe with a diameter of 0.5 meters is used to release air into the surrounding atmosphere. The fan has a capacity of 2000 m3/h , consumes 1100 watts of power, and rotates at 1000 revolutions per minute. The pressure drop on the suction side is 60 pA, while the pressure drop on the discharge side is 80 kPa. When the operating speed is increased to 1200 revolutions per minute, calculate the fan's capacity based on the resulting change in power. in m3/s
