Problem No. 4:
A sewerage aeration blower rotating at 3500 rpm is designed to deliver 567 cu.m/min of air
from 20 deg C and 1 atm to a discharge of 158 kPaa with an adiabatic efficiency of 65%. During
summer the atmospheric temperature rises to 43 deg C but the barometric pressure does not
change. It is desired to vary the blower speed to maintain the same discharge pressure.
Determine the discharge volume of standard air with the new head? Ans. 9.1 cu.m/s
