5.15. A small-parts assembly line involves the use of solvents requiring a high level of ventilation. To achieve removal of these toxic gases, a mean velocity of 8 ft/s must be maintained across the cross-section of a 12 ft high by 30 ft wide room. The toxicants are subsequently removed in a wet scrubber or filter, which causes a pressure drop of 30 lb/ft². Using a Cordier analysis, select the design parameters for a fan that will provide the required flow and pressure rise, while oper ating at or near 90% total efficiency, and that minimizes the diameter of the fan. Give dimensions and speed of the fan and describe the type of fan chosen.
