Suppose you are designing a 3 × 6-ft air-hockey table, with 1/16-inch-diameter holes spaced every inch in a rectangular pattern (2592 holes total), the required jet speed from each hole is 50 ft/s. You must select an appropriate blower. Estimate the volumetric flow rate (in ft3/min) and pressure rise (in psi) required. Hint: Assume the air is stagnant in the large manifold under the table surface, and neglect frictional losses.
