Problem 2(20 points)
An air fan has a bladed rotor of D2 outside diameter and D1 inside diameter as illustrated in Fig. 2. The height of each rotor blade is h from blade inlet to outlet. The flowrate (Q) is steady and the absolute velocity of the air at the blade inlet (V1) is radial. The air velocity at the blade outlet relative to the blade is W2 and 30 from the tangential direction. The rotor rotates at a constant angular speed .
(a)(5 points) Draw the velocity vector triangle for U2,V2,W2 and their radial (r) and tangential () direction components; U2 is the rotor blade velocity at the outlet and V2 is the absolute velocity of the air at the blade outlet.
(b)(15 points) Determine the shaft torque (Tshaft) required to run the fan. Make sure to draw your control volume and indicate whether it is fixed, moving, deformable, or stationary.
