Módulo Para el Diseño de Rotores de Ventiladores Axiales

Abstract

Axial flow hydraulic machines, such as axial fans, are an alternative solution for different practical requirements in the industry. Examples of its use can be found in the refrigeration systems of vehicles and heavy machinery, in the mechanical ventilation systems of warehouses and factories, in combustion homes that require air supply for their operation, in wind tunnels used for flow simulation, etc. That is why, in the academic spaces of hydraulic machines and energy transformation systems, of the Mechanical Engineering program of the Santo Tomás University, Tunja, the design and construction of the rotor of an axial flow fan is proposed. With the development of the project, students have the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge acquired during their academic training, which allows them to broaden their vision of all the possibilities that applied mechanical engineering offers, specifically in the field of machines that work with incompressible flows.
