Simulation of Flow and Structural Analysis of Industrial Blower
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Industrial Blowers are used to transport air to different upward/downward components in power/process equipment assembly. However performance degradation during operation concerns designers for plant efficiency. To this effect performance analysis is aimed in three dimensional environments. The basic approach followed to obtain three dimensional CAD model of blower comprises suction duct, volute chamber, impeller and exit duct. The CAD model in the form of IGES format has been imported in Altair Hyper Mesh preprocessor for surface repair and fluid/solid domain extraction. The fluid domain has been further discretized in the form of unstructured and structured grids so as to generate tetrahedral and hexahedral elements respectively which in turn was imported in Ansys Fluent Software. With the prescribed boundary conditions such as inlet velocity, exit pressure and blade rotation, CFD simulation is performed to visualize the velocity and pressure distribution. Solid domain of blower impeller was imported in Ansys Mechanical to map pressure load from fluid simulation to compute deformations and principal stresses.
