Hi crazy people!
It's well know that at high altitude (> 1000 masl) there's a volumetric loss in blowers and fans. (usually air)
And I work at 3800 m.a.s.l. in a Cement Plant.
So I have a doubt:
- Does a blower or fan produce the same amount of VOLUME at 3800 m.a.s.l. than at Standard conditions (20ºC, 1 atm, 0 m.a.s.l., ...), but there's less amount of MASS (i.e. there's < AIR DENSITY) ?
or
- Does a blower or fan produce less amount of VOLUME at 3800 m.a.s.l. than at Standard conditions (20ºC, 1 atm, 0 m.a.s.l., ...) , and also less amount of MASS (i.e. also there's < DENSITY) ?
* And moreover there's less OXIGEN in the AIR (<23%) at high altitudes ...
Could you please recommend some literature about this topic ? , I like to understand about blowers and fans, and also about combustion at high altitudes.
Thanks for your help

How does a blower, fan, combustion engine change with altitude?
Just for comparison a alternative mechanism and roots blower, and centrifugal fan. And on the other hand Internal combustion engines (diesel or otto cycle)
