Computer-aided design of axial-flow fans
… of designing low- to medium-speed, axial-flow fans and blowers is discussed, and a Fortran program called FANJD is introduced. The first purpose of F AN3D is to perform the aerodynamic and mechanical calculations needed to establish the basic geometry of an axial-flow fan blade. Next, geometric …

On-site testing of crop drying fans
… perforated plate positioned between the two fans. Airflow through each of the trailer supply ports was determined in a similar manner by measuring the pressure drop across calibrated resistance plates. Measured airflow to the trailers from dryer fans was found to be 75 to 100% of the airflow …

Optimum Design of Compact, Quiet, and Efficient Ventilation Fans
Axial ventilation fans are used to improve the air quality, remove contaminants, and to control the temperature and humidity in occupied areas. Ventilation fans are one of the most harmful sources of noise due to their close proximity to occupied areas and widespread use. The prolonged exposure to …
