The axial-flow fan C pumps air through the duct of circular cross section and exhausts it with a velocity v at B. The air densities at A and B are ρ_A and ρ_B, respectively, and the corresponding pressures are p_A and p_B. The fixed deflecting blades at D restore axial flow to the air after it passes through the propeller blades C. Write an expression for the resultant horizontal force R exerted on the fan unit by the flange and bolts at A.
