The static pressure and total pressure of a fan are important because they determine the
amount of air that the fan can move through a system. The higher the static pressure and total
pressure, the more air the fan can move through the system.
2. Air horsepower (AH) is a unit of power used to measure the performance of a fan or blower that
moves air through a system. It is a measure of the amount of work that a fan can do to move a
given amount of air through a system.

Air horsepower is defined as the power required to move a certain volume of air at a specific
pressure through a system. The formula for calculating air horsepower is:

AH = (Q x P) / (6356 x EFF)

Where:

Q = airflow rate in cubic feet per minute (CFM)

P = pressure in inches of water column (inWC)
EFF = fan efficiency (expressed as a decimal)

In this formula, the values for airflow rate and pressure are measured by the fan, while the fan
efficiency is typically provided by the manufacturer.

Air horsepower is an important parameter used to select and size fans and blowers for specific
applications. By calculating the required air horsepower, engineers can determine the
appropriate size and type of fan needed to meet the airflow and pressure requirements of a
particular system.

The ideal gas law can be rearranged to solve for the density (ρ) of an ideal gas, which is defined
as the mass of the gas per unit volume.
Starting from the ideal gas law:
PV = nRT
We can solve for the density by rearranging this equation as follows:
PV = mRT/M
Where:
 P = pressure of the gas (in Pa)
 V = volume of the gas (in m³)
 n = number of moles of the gas
 R = gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K)
 T = temperature of the gas (in K)
 m = mass of the gas (in kg)
 M = molar mass of the gas (in kg/mol)
We can then solve for the density by dividing both sides by V:
m/V = P/RT × M
ρ = P/RT × M
where ρ is the density of the gas (in kg/m³).
Therefore, to equate the ideal gas law equation to density, we simply divide the pressure (P) by
the gas constant (R) times the temperature (T) and the molar mass (M) of the gas. This gives us
the density of the gas at the given pressure, temperature, and molar mass
