5.15. A small-parts assembly line involves the use of solvents requiring a high level of ventilation. To achieve removal of these toxic gases, a mean velocity of 8 ft/s must be maintained across the cross-section
of a 12 ft high by 30 ft wide room. The toxicants are subsequently removed in a wet scrubber or filter, which causes a pressure drop of 30 lb/ft². Using a Cordier analysis, select the design parameters for a fan that will provide the required flow and pressure rise, while oper ating at or near 90% total efficiency, and that minimizes the diameter of the fan. Give dimensions and speed of the fan and describe the type of fan chosen.
16.36 The air flow to a four-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine was measured
by means of a 8 cm diameter sharp edged orifice with Ca = 0.65. During
a test the following data were recorded:
Bore = 10 cm

Scenario 14.1 — Vidalia OnionsWhen Vidalia onions are ready, the entire 13 county (plus parts of seven other counties) area in Georgia where they are grown is devoted to the harvest, packaging and shipping of this delicacy. The Onion Shack currently purchases 120,000 bags of onions each year at a price of $100 per bag (a bag is ten pounds). Onion Shack has historically purchased in lots of 3000 bags. Transit time and capacity vary as indicated in the table (lead time is 2 days more than transit time). The safety inventory that Onion Shack requires is 30% of lead time demand and the holding cost for a bag is 15% of cost.

Sir Lost-a-Lot dons his armor and sets out from the castle on his trusty steed (Fig. P12.19). Usually, the drawbridge is lowered to a horizontal position so that the end of the bridge rests on the stone ledge. Unfor- tunately, Lost-a-Lot's squire didn't lower the draw- bridge far enough and stopped it at 0 = 20.0° above the horizontal. The knight and his horse stop when their combined center of mass is d = 1.00 m from the end of the bridge. The uniform bridge is € = 8.00 m long and has mass 2 000 kg. The lift cable is attached to the bridge 5.00 m from the hinge at the castle end and to a point on the castle wall h = 12.0 m above the bridge.
