Design and Simulation of Centrifugal Blower Using with Different Composite Materials

Mechanical Engineering

A centrifugal blower is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases. The terms "blower" and "squirrel cage fan" (because it looks like a hamster wheel) are frequently used as synonyms. Rotating impellers increase the speed of the air blowing from another end. Centrifugal blowers are used in naval applications and motors. The Contemporary blades in Centrifugal Blower used in naval applications are made up of Aluminum1060 or Steel now we replaced the composite material (carbon fiber).In this thesis the centrifugal blower modeling in Solid works software and analysis in ANSYS software with different materials in static analysis and different velocities in CFD analysis to find the fluid flow .In this thesis the static analysis to determine the stress, deformation and strain with different materials (aluminum alloy, graphite and carbon fiber)CFD analysis to determine the pressure drop, velocity, heat transfer coefficient and mass flow rate at different velocities (14, 16, 18, 20 and 22m/s).
