The gases coming out of the steam boiler are discharged from a chimney with a rectangular area of 15x20 ft at a constant speed of 50 ft / s. The flue line is 250 ft long and there are 2 bends at 90 degrees. The temperature of the gases is constant at 180 F and an average pressure of 1 atm. Its physical properties are the same as the air in the same conditions. Calculate the pressure difference and required power in the flue line.
