Helium is steadily flowing through a duct. At the entrance of the duct the gas is at 40 psia and 120 oF, flowing at a rate of 20 ft/s as a result of a fan in the duct. At the duct exit, the helium is at 190 oF and 30 psia. The duct has a constant cross-sectional area of 0.5ft2. Calculate the following:

a. Volumetric flow rate at the inlet [ft3/min]

b. Mass flow rate [lbm/s]

c. Velocity at the exit [ft/s]

The electronic components of a computer are cooled by air flowing through a fan mounted at the inlet of the electronics enclosure. At steady state, air enters at 20.2∘C and 100 kPa. For noise control, the velocity of the entering air cannot exceed 1.09 m/s. For temperature control, the temperature of the air at the exit cannot exceed 33.2∘. The electronics use 83.3 W of power and the fan uses 19.4 W (assume that the power dissipated by the electronics...
