Answer

$V_{max}=16.97\frac{m}{s}$

Work Step by Step

Knowing that: $W=Q\Delta P$ The maximun flow rate will be: $Q_{max}=\frac{W}{\Delta P}=\frac{60W}{50Pa}=1.2\frac{m^3}{s}$ The area of the duct is: $A=\frac{\pi*D^2}{4}=\frac{\pi*(30cm*\frac{1m}{100cm})^2}{4}=0.0707m^2$ Knowing that: $Q=VA$ Then the highest possible average flow velocity in the duct will be: $V_{max}=\frac{Q_{max}}{A}=\frac{1.2\frac{m^3}{s}}{0.0707m^2}=16.97\frac{m}{s}$
