ABSTRACT Τhe forward curved & forward impeller of Industrial Centrifugal fan along with Inlet & Outlet Ducts has been modeled in SOLIDWORKS and analyzed aerodynamically at different speeds for compare simulation results by using ANSYS FLUENT (Finite Element Analysis Software). The material of the fan impeller was specified as ALUMINIUM. Boundary conditions on the Centrifugal fan are taken from the reference. The flow distribution across the fan is obtained. The maximum static pressure at the immediate outlet of fan is known and the pressure distributions across the complete casing along with ducts are obtained accordingly. The obtained results are compared through variable speed operation for proper selection fan. As a final output the design of the centrifugal fan is tabulated and it is observed that centrifugal fan with impeller having forward ten blades have better performance compared to other designs. |
