question

A centrifugal fan with an efficiency of 60% is used to pump fluegas at a rate of 150cfs. The flue gas (mol. wt. = 31.5, molarspecific volume = 378.5 ft^3/lbmol) is initially at rest at 220°F and 28.5 in.Hg.At the exit of the fan, the flue gas is at a pressure of 31.0 in. of Hg and a velocity of 170 ft/s. Determine the power needed to drive the fan.
