3. PNEUMATIC CONVEYOR (score: 40) 

Shelled corn is to be conveyed through a horizontal distance of 30 m horizontally and 10
m vertically at a rate of 30,000 kg/h. The transport line has four 90° bends and its
diameter is 12.7 cm. Assuming standard air properties, determine total system
pressure drop considering pressure loss due to accessories of blower suction and
discharge cyclone. Also, determine blower power requirements.
