Pressure drop in the granular zone of a blast furnace is 300 mm of water per meter of the bed height. The bed permeability is 0.8 m⁴⋅N⁻¹⋅s⁻¹. The volumetric flow rate of gas per unit area through the bed [in (m³⋅s⁻¹)⋅m⁻², rounded off to the nearest integer] is _______.
Assume Darcy's law is applicable and g = 9.8 m⋅s⁻². Density of water = 1000 kg⋅m⁻³.

Correct : 2350
