Abstract

The objective of the present study is to carry out a computational analysis to observe the physics of fluid flow through a six bladed axial fan. The axial fan is modelled based on standard specifications. The analysis is carried out using commercially available CFD code. The results were obtained for standard boundary conditions at the inlet with turbulent flow conditions. The results gave a maximum pressure of 105.7 Pa and the maximum velocity of 14.12 m/s at the outlet at these conditions. Further, these results can be used to compare the performance of six bladed axial fan with nine and twelve blades of an axial fan.
