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.

A hydroelectric power plant uses Pelton-type turbines, in which multiple nozzles are used to accelerate the waterwhich is directed onto the turbine blades, which are exposed to an atmospheric pressure of 101.325 kPa. The water enters the nozzles with an absolute pressure of 500 kPa and a speed of 5 m/s, and the nozzle outlets are exposed to atmospheric pressure and have an internal diameter of 5 cm. Consider that the specific mass of water is 1,000 kg/m3.
Determine the mass flow rate of water through each of the nozzles, and explain why the actual mass flow rate will be lower.
Knowing that a U-tube contains water, what will be the difference between the water levels in each of its branches, if we blow air at a speed of 15 m / s over one of these branches, tangent to its opening?
A fan running at 1480 rpm takes in 6 m^3/min of air at inlet conditions of P_1=950 mbar and T_1=15^0 C. If the fan impeller dimeter is 40 cm and the table tip air angle 20^0, determine the total pressure developed by the fan and the impeller width at exit. Take the radial velocity at the exit as 0.2 times the impeller tip speed. State the assumptions used.
