Influence of the axial fan blade angle on the turbulent swirl flow characteristics [PDF]
The paper presents the investigation of the turbulent swirl flow in a pipe behind the axial fan with adjustable nine blades for the angles of 22°, 26° and 30° for the same rotation number (1500 rpm). Velocities were measured with laser Doppler anemometry
