Optimization of Centrifugal Fan Efficiency Based on Volute Meridional Inlet Width and Stepanoff Number Using CFD and Kriging-Based Response Surface Method
The present work optimizes the efficiency of a centrifugal fan by applying Computational Fluid Dynamics and a Kriging-based response surface methodology. The aim is to improve fan efficiency in the low to medium pressure values while maintaining the existing broad pressure range performance. Volute meridional inlet wid...
