Question

An axial fan 2 m2 \mathrm{~m} in diameter is used in a wind tunnel as shown (test section 1.2 m1.2 \mathrm{~m} in diameter; test section velocity of 60 m/s60 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} ). The rotational speed of the fan is 1800rpm1800 \mathrm{rpm}. Assume the density of the air is constant at 1.2 kg/m31.2 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3. There are negligible losses in the tunnel. The performance curve of the fan is identical to that shown in the mentioned figure. Compute the power needed to operate the fan.

Given data.\textbf{Given data.}

Axial fan diameter D=2 m\text{Axial fan diameter } D = 2\text{ m}

Test section diameter d=1.2 m\text{Test section diameter } d = 1.2 \text{ m}

U=60 m sU = 60\frac{\text{ m}}{\text{ s}}

n=1800 rpmn = 1800 \text{ rpm}

ρ=1.2 kg m3\rho = 1.2 \frac{\text{ kg}}{{\text{ m}}^3}

Performance curve of the fan is identical to that shown in Fig 14.7.\text{Performance curve of the fan is identical to that shown in Fig 14.7.}

Goal is to determine power needed to operate the fan.\text{Goal is to determine power needed to operate the fan.}
