A supply fan is operating at 30000 cfm and 4 inch of water with an efficiency of 50%. (a) Calculate the fan power at the current operating condition. (b) Calculate the pressure and power if the supply fan reduces its speed to deliver 20000 cfm.

The temperature of air decreases as it is compressed by an adiabatic compressor. a)- true b)- false

Apump is used to circulate hot water in a home heating system. water enters the well-insulated pump operating at steady state at a rate of 0.42 gal/min. the inlet pressure and temperature are 14.7 lbf/in.2, and 180°f, respectively; at the exit the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2 the pump requires 1/15 hp of power input. water can be modeled as an incompressible substance with constant density of 60.58 lb/ft3 and constant specific heat of 1 btu/lb or. neglecting kinetic and potential energy effects, determine the temperature change, in °r, as the water flows through the pump.

Fluids at rest possess no flow energy. a)- true b)- false
