Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 1CP
List at least two common examples of fans, of blowers, and of compressors.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The examples of fans.
The examples of blowers.
The examples of compressors.
Explanation of Solution
Conclusion:
A fan is a machine which is used to create flow within a fluid typically a gas such as air. And the examples of fans are ceiling fans, the cooling fan in computers, table fans and propellers.
A blower is a machine which is used to generate the flow of air at different pressures and the examples of blowers are hairdryers, air blowers used in the furnace, automobile ventilation systems and leaf blowers.
The compressor is a mechanical device which increases the outlet pressure of the fluid and the examples of compressors are refrigerator and air conditioner compressors and air compressors used to inflate the tire of the automobiles.
