Improved Aerodynamics of a Hollow-Blade Axial Flow Fan by Controlling the Leakage Flow Rate by Air Injection at the Rotating Shroud

Improved Aerodynamics of a Hollow-Blade Axial Flow Fan by Controlling the Leakage Flow Rate by Air Injection at the Rotating Shroud

Axial flow fans are used in many fields in order to ensure the mass and heat transfer from air, chiefly in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry (HVAC). A more proper understanding of the airflow behavior through the systems is necessary to manage and optimize the fan operation. Com...
