Problem:
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
