Air enters a fan through a duct at a velocity of 6.3 m/s and an inlet static pressure of 2.5 cm of water less than atmospheric pressure. The air leaves the fan through a duct at a velocity of 11.25 m/s and a discharge static pressure of 7.62 cm of water above the atmospheric pressure. If the specific weight of the air is 1.2 kg/m^3 and the fan delivers 9.45 m^3/s, what is the fan efficiency when the power input to the fan is 13.75 kW at the coupling?

A forced draft fan is used to provide the combustion air requirement for a power boiler that burns coal at the rate of 20 metric tons per hour. The air requirements are 120,000 m3/hr, with the air being provided under 170 mm water gauge by a fan which has a mechanical efficiency of 65%. Assume the fan delivers at a total pressure of 170 mm water gauge. Determine the air power of the fan and find the standard horsepower rating of a motor to drive the fan.
