Chapter 6, Problem 29EP
A fan with 24-in-diameter blades moves 2000 cfm (cubic feet per minute) of air at 70°F at sea level. Determine (a) the force required to hold the fan and (b) the minimum power input required for the fan. Choose a control volume sufficiently large to contain the fan, with the inlet sufficiently far upstream so that the gage pressure at the inlet is nearly zero. Assume air approaches the fan through a large area with negligible velocity and air exits the fan with a uniform velocity at atmospheric pressure through an imaginary cylinder whose diameter is the fan blade diameter.

The force required to hold the fan.
The minimum power input required for the fan
Choose a control volume sufficiently large to contain the fan, with the inlet sufficiently far upstream so that the gage pressure at the inlet is nearly zero. Assume air approaches the fan through a large area with negligible velocity and air exits the fan with a uniform velocity at atmospheric pressure through an imaginary cylinder whose diameter is the fan blade diameter.
Air flows steadily at low speed through a horizontal nozzle (by definition a device for accelerating a flow), discharging to atmosphere. The area at the nozzle inlet is 0.1 m2. At the nozzle exit, the area is 0.02 m2. Determine the gage pressure required at the nozzle inlet to produce an outlet speed of 50 m/s
A medium-sized jet has a 3.8-m-diameter fuselage and a
loaded mass of 85,000 kg. The drag on an airplane is
primarily due to the cylindrical fuselage, and aerodynamic
shaping gives it a drag coefficient of 0.37.
