Abstract |
|
A fan is a commonly used turbo machine widely used for the application of cooling, ventilation and air handling. It mainly composed of two parts namely casing and impeller. A casing is the outer body or enclosure which covers the impeller body. Impeller is a rotating member composed of a number of blades on its periphery. A blade may be forward curved, backward curve, radial, inclined or air foil shaped geometry. In the present work two types of air foil blades are analysed and are being compared for optimal performance. NACA 2412 and NACA 2424 air foil blades are taken for consideration and are analysed in a virtual environment and numerically. Pressure head versus flow rate curves are obtained for both the geometries and compare theoretical results with obtained from CFD using ANSYS 14.0 fluent workbench. |
