COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS SIMULATION OF PROPELLER FAN
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 30, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Cooling appliances growing demand to cool the ambience with high efficiency requires robust condenser unit.The objective of this work is to predict and correlate the mass flow rate of propeller type axial fan used incondenser unit using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique. The flow field is simulated with thefinite element Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD solver Altair HyperWorks. The three-dimensionalcomputational domain with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model is considered to predict the mass flow rate. Thepresent computation is carried out for the axial fan speed of 820 rpm for the steady state condition using movingreference frame approach. The flow rate is correlated with the test results to validate the CFD modelingapproach. The correlation level found closer with tested results, hence which will help to improve the futuristicmodel during conceptual design itself.
