(a) A fan is to produce an air speed of 20 m/s throughout the pipe loop shown in Figure Q2 (a). The galvanized iron pipe has a diameter of 3 m and each of the four 90° elbows has a loss coefficient of 0.3. For air, take u = 1.79 x 10-5 Pa.s and p = 1.23 kg/m². Determine the power added by the fan to the air. [14mks) 20m D = 3m 10m 1 = 2 fan Figure Q2 (a)
