A fan is (in effect) a gas compressor which moves large volumes of air at low pressure
Question:
A fan is (in effect) a gas compressor which moves large volumes of air at low pressure across small (1 to 15 kPa) pressure differences. The usual design equation is:
where subscript 1 denotes inlet conditions and η is the efficiency with respect to isentropic operation. Develop this equation. Show also how it follows from the usual equation for compression of an ideal gas with constant heat capacities.
