The industrial blower sucks in air through the axial opening A with a velocity v₁ and discharges it at atmospheric pressure and temperature through the 150-mm-diameter duct B with a velocity v₂. The blower handles 16 m³ of air per minute with the motor and fan running at 3450 rev/min. If the motor requires 0.32 kW of power under no load (both ducts closed), calculate the power P consumed while air is being pumped.
