2018 Case Morning 17
Thread Content
This is question 17 from the morning session of the 2018 Chemistry Engineering case study, regarding fan selection. Hey experts, if anyone knows how to solve this, could you please provide the step-by-step solution? Thank you very much. 17. It is planned to use a fan to supply air to a test tower with a diameter of 1500 mm. The local atmospheric pressure is 98.66 kPa, and the atmospheric temperature is 30°C. The inner diameter of the exhaust pipe in the test tower is 630 mm, with a system pressure drop of 10.4 kPa. The required air velocity inside the tower is 2.5 m/s. Which set of values should the fan’s nameplate pressure (in kPa) and flow rate (in m³/h) meet? (A)10.54;15896 (B)11.14;15425 (C)10.54;15632 (D)11.14;15896
