Question

The exhaust fan on a typical kitchen stove pulls 600 CFM (cubic feet per minute) through the filter. Given that 1.00 in. = 2.54 cm, how many cubic meters per second does this fan pull?

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.283\ m^3/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

1.00 in = 2.54 cm

We know that,

1 feet = 12 inches

$1\ feet =12\times0.0254$

$1\ feet =0.3048\ m$

We calculate the number

We need to converted $ft^3/min$ to $m^3/sec$

The number required is

$600ft^3/min = \dfrac{600\times(0.3048)^3}{60}$

$600ft^3/min=0.283\ m^3/s$

Hence, This is the required solution.
