Project Summary

This project aims to optimize fans for better performance. These fans are used widely at small levels like hotels etc. as well as at large places like hangers, industries, etc. We aim at reducing the input and increasing the output for these fans. This step will be a step towards the betterment of our people. People will be able to buy a more refined quality of fan at the same cost. 

Project Objectives

The objective of this project is to optimize fans for better efficiency and output. We aim to move more air using less input power using the fan. 

We will optimize than fan blade.

We will determine the grid size effect on the fan performance. 

Project Implementation Method

The fan size is more than 6 feet in diameter. First of all. we will make a scaled-down model of the fa using a 3D scanner. We will do optimization in Ansys Fluent. We will run the cases by varying fan blade number, blade length, blade twist, hub radius, etc. After deciding the optimum factors which give us the maximum movement of air, we will finalize that fan model. It will be then manufactured using 3D printing. For validation of Ansys results, we will test that scaled-down model in the Wind tunnel for pressures and other parameters. Then using mathematical expresion we will calculate the final parameters and compare the efficiency of both the fans. 

Benefits of the Project

Less wastage of power by maximizing the output power 

If a place used 4 fans currently, it will be able to use 3 fans at that place after this optimization, hence cost reduction. 

They are manufactured locally and used by local people at their small industries, hotels, worplaces etc. It will aid their economy. 

These fans can be made in large numbers and sold out for economic progress and as a business. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Ansys 2020 will be used for running the cases. 

Geometry is to be attained by 3D scanner

Cases to be run are blade length, number of blades, hub radius, pitch angle. 

After the optimzation in Ansys, 3D printing of optimizaed fan will be done. 

Manufactured scaled-down models of fan will be tested in wing tunnel for the static and total pressures and  efficiency will be found.
