Question:

A 200-ft3/min flow of air at 14.7 psia and 60 F enters a fan with negligible inlet velocity. The fan discharge duct has a cross-sectional area of 3 ft2. The process across the fan is isentropic (reversible and adiabatic). The fan discharge pressure is 14.8 psia. Determine

(a) The velocity in the discharge duct (ft/min) 

(b) The size of motor required to drive the fan (hp).
