Answer:
minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s
Explanation:
given data
area = 3 ft by 3 ft
air density = 0.075 lbm/ft³
to find out
minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor
solution
we know that energy balance equation that is express as
E in - E out = ......................1
and at steady state = 0
so we can say from equation 1
E in = E out
so
minimum power required is
E in = W = m =
put here value
E in =
E in =
E in = 0.1437 Btu/s
minimum electric power consumption of the fan motor is 0.1437 Btu/s
