Question:

A blower has a rotor with 12-in. outside diameter and 10-in. inside diameter with 1.5 -in high rotor blades. The flow rate through the blower is \(500 \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{min}\) at a rotor speed of \(1800 \mathrm{rpm}\). The air at blade inlet is in the radial direction and the discharge angle is \(30^{\circ}\) from the tangential direction. Determine the power required by the blower motor.
