4. The output terminals of the dc-dc converter with parameters in Tables 1 are 2 are used to energize a centrifugal fan that is driven by a permanent magnet DC motor.

 The parameters of the permanent magnet dc motor are given in Table 3.

a) Sketch the torque-speed characteristic of a centrifugal fan 

b) Determine the fan speed of the centrifugal pump in rpm, when the total load torque is equivalent to 50% of the rated motor torque.

 c) Explain if the dc-dc converter is suitable for the required load in (b).
