Turbofan awaiting installation on an under construction The turbofan or fanjet is a type of that is widely used in. The word 'turbofan' is a of 'turbine' and 'fan': the turbo portion refers to a which achieves from combustion, and the fan, a that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to accelerate air rearwards. Thus, whereas all the air taken in by a passes through the turbine (through the ), in a turbofan some of that air bypasses the turbine.
A turbofan thus can be thought of as a turbojet being used to drive a ducted fan, with both of those contributing to the. The ratio of the mass-flow of air bypassing the engine core compared to the mass-flow of air passing through the core is referred to as the. The engine produces thrust through a combination of these two portions working together; engines that use more relative to fan thrust are known as low-bypass turbofans, conversely those that have considerably more fan thrust than jet thrust are known as high-bypass.

Most commercial aviation jet engines in use today are of the high-bypass type, and most modern military fighter engines are low-bypass. Are not used on high-bypass turbofan engines but may be used on either low-bypass turbofan or engines. Most of the air flow through a high-bypass turbofan is low-velocity bypass flow: even when combined with the much higher velocity engine exhaust, the average exhaust velocity is considerably lower than in a pure turbojet. Turbojet engine noise is predominately jet noise from the high exhaust velocity, therefore turbofan engines are significantly quieter than a pure-jet of the same thrust with jet noise no longer the predominant source. Other noise sources are the fan, compressor and turbine.
Jet noise is reduced by using chevrons - sawtooth patterns on the exhaust nozzles - on the and engines, which are used on the. Since the is a function of the relative airspeed of the exhaust to the surrounding air, propellers are most efficient for low speed, pure jets for high speeds, and ducted fans in the middle. Turbofans are thus the most efficient engines in the range of speeds from about 500 to 1,000 km/h (310 to 620 mph), the speed at which most commercial aircraft operate. Turbofans retain an efficiency edge over pure jets at low up to roughly Mach 1.6 (1,960.1 km/h; 1,217.9 mph). Modern turbofans have either a large single-stage fan or a smaller fan with several stages. An early configuration combined a low-pressure turbine and fan in a single rear-mounted unit. Turbofan engine from a.
View into the outer (propelling or 'cold') nozzle. Early turbojet engines were not very fuel-efficient as their overall pressure ratio and turbine inlet temperature were severely limited by the technology available at the time. In 1939–1941 Soviet designer elaborated the design for the world's first turbofan engine, and acquired a patent for this new invention on April 22, 1941. Although several prototypes were built and ready for testing, Lyulka was forced to abandon his research and evacuate to the Urals following the in 1941. So the first turbofan to run was apparently the German (designated as the 109-007 by the ) with a first run date of 27 May 1943. Turbomachinery testing, using an electric motor, had started on 1 April 1943. The engine was abandoned later while the war went on and problems could not be solved.
The British wartime axial flow jet was given a fan, as the Metrovick F.3 in 1943, to create the first British turbofan. Improved materials, and the introduction of twin compressors such as in the and engines, increased the overall pressure ratio and thus the efficiency of engines, but they also led to a poor propulsive efficiency, as pure turbojets have a high specific thrust/high velocity exhaust better suited to supersonic flight. The original low-bypass turbofan engines were designed to improve propulsive efficiency by reducing the exhaust velocity to a value closer to that of the aircraft. The, the world's first production turbofan, had a bypass ratio of 0.3, similar to the modern fighter engine. Civilian turbofan engines of the 1960s, such as the and the had bypass ratios closer to 1, and were similar to their military equivalents. The first General Electric turbofan was the aft-fan based on the CJ805-3 turbojet.
It was followed by the aft-fan engine with a 2.0 bypass ratio. This was derived from the turbojet (2,850 lbf or 12,650 N) to power the larger Rockwell Sabreliner 75/80 model aircraft, as well as the Dassault Falcon 20 with about a 50% increase in thrust (4,200 lbf or 18,700 N). The CF700 was the first small turbofan in the world to be certified by the (FAA). There were at one time over 400 CF700 aircraft in operation around the world, with an experience base of over 10 million service hours. The CF700 turbofan engine was also used to train Moon-bound astronauts in as the powerplant for the.
Low-bypass turbofan. Schematic diagram illustrating a 2-spool, low-bypass turbofan engine with a mixed exhaust, showing the low-pressure (green) and high-pressure (purple) spools. The fan (and booster stages) are driven by the low-pressure turbine, whereas the high-pressure compressor is powered by the high-pressure turbine. A high-specific-thrust/low-bypass-ratio turbofan normally has a multi-stage fan, developing a relatively high pressure ratio and, thus, yielding a high (mixed or cold) exhaust velocity. The core airflow needs to be large enough to give sufficient to drive the fan.
A smaller core flow/higher bypass ratio cycle can be achieved by raising the (HP) turbine rotor inlet temperature. To illustrate one aspect of how a turbofan differs from a turbojet, they may be compared, as in a re-engining assessment, at the same airflow (to keep a common intake for example) and the same net thrust (i.e. Same specific thrust). A bypass flow can be added only if the turbine inlet temperature is not too high to compensate for the smaller core flow.
Future improvements in turbine cooling/material technology can allow higher turbine inlet temperature, which is necessary because of increased cooling air temperature, resulting from an increase. The resulting turbofan, with reasonable efficiencies and duct loss for the added components, would probably operate at a higher nozzle pressure ratio than the turbojet, but with a lower exhaust temperature to retain net thrust. Since the temperature rise across the whole engine (intake to nozzle) would be lower, the (dry power) fuel flow would also be reduced, resulting in a better (SFC). Some low-bypass ratio military turbofans (e.g.
F404) have variable inlet guide vanes to direct air onto the first fan rotor stage. This improves the fan margin (see ). Afterburning turbofan.
Afterburning turbofan on test Since the 1970s, most engines have been low/medium bypass turbofans with a mixed exhaust, and variable area final nozzle. An afterburner is a combustor located downstream of the turbine blades and directly upstream of the nozzle, which burns fuel from afterburner-specific fuel injectors.
When lit, prodigious amounts of fuel are burnt in the afterburner, raising the temperature of exhaust gases by a significant degree, resulting in a higher exhaust velocity/engine specific thrust. The variable geometry nozzle must open to a larger throat area to accommodate the extra volume flow when the afterburner is lit. Afterburning is often designed to give a significant thrust boost for take off, transonic acceleration and combat maneuvers, but is very fuel intensive.
Consequently, afterburning can be used only for short portions of a mission. Unlike the main combustor, where the downstream turbine blades must not be damaged by high temperatures, an afterburner can operate at the ideal maximum temperature (i.e., about 2100K/3780Ra/3320F/1826C). At a fixed total applied fuel:air ratio, the total fuel flow for a given fan airflow will be the same, regardless of the dry specific thrust of the engine. However, a high specific thrust turbofan will, by definition, have a higher nozzle pressure ratio, resulting in a higher afterburning net thrust and, therefore, a lower afterburning specific fuel consumption (SFC). However, high specific thrust engines have a high dry SFC. The situation is reversed for a medium specific thrust afterburning turbofan: i.e., poor afterburning SFC/good dry SFC.
The former engine is suitable for a combat aircraft which must remain in afterburning combat for a fairly long period, but has to fight only fairly close to the airfield (e.g. Cross border skirmishes) The latter engine is better for an aircraft that has to fly some distance, or loiter for a long time, before going into combat. However, the pilot can afford to stay in afterburning only for a short period, before aircraft fuel reserves become dangerously low. The first production afterburning turbofan engine was the, which initially powered the and.
Current low-bypass military turbofans include the, the, the, the, and the, all of which feature a mixed exhaust, afterburner and variable area propelling nozzle. High-bypass turbofan. Schematic diagram illustrating a 2-spool, high-bypass turbofan engine with an unmixed exhaust. The low-pressure spool is coloured green and the high-pressure one purple. Again, the fan (and booster stages) are driven by the low-pressure turbine, but more stages are required.
A mixed exhaust is often employed nowadays. The low-specific-thrust/high-bypass-ratio turbofans used in today's civil jetliners (and some military transport aircraft) evolved from the high-specific-thrust/low-bypass-ratio turbofans used in such aircraft back in the 1960s. Low specific thrust is achieved by replacing the multi-stage fan with a single-stage unit. Unlike some military engines, modern civil turbofans do not have any stationary inlet guide vanes in front of the fan rotor. The fan is scaled to achieve the desired net thrust. The core (or gas generator) of the engine must generate sufficient core power to at least drive the fan at its design flow and pressure ratio. Through improvements in turbine cooling/material technology, a higher (HP) turbine rotor inlet temperature can be used, thus facilitating a smaller (and lighter) core and (potentially) improving the core thermal efficiency.
Reducing the core mass flow tends to increase the load on the LP turbine, so this unit may require additional stages to reduce the average stage loading and to maintain LP turbine efficiency. Reducing core flow also increases bypass ratio. Bypass ratios greater than 5:1 are increasingly common with the attaining 12.5:1. Further improvements in core thermal efficiency can be achieved by raising the overall pressure ratio of the core. Improved blade aerodynamics reduces the number of extra compressor stages required. With multiple compressors (i.e., LPC, IPC, and HPC) dramatic increases in overall pressure ratio have become possible.
Variable geometry (i.e., ) enable high-pressure-ratio compressors to work surge-free at all throttle settings. Cutaway diagram of the -6 engine The first (experimental) high-bypass turbofan engine was built and run on February 13, 1964. Shortly after, the became the first production model, designed to power the military transport aircraft. The civil engine used a derived design.
Other high-bypass turbofans are the, the three-shaft and the; also the smaller. More recent large high-bypass turbofans include the, the three-shaft, the / and the, produced jointly by GE and P&W. For reasons of fuel economy, and also of reduced noise, almost all of today's jet airliners are powered by high-bypass turbofans. Although modern combat aircraft tend to use low-bypass ratio turbofans, military transport aircraft (e.g., ) mainly use high-bypass ratio turbofans (or ) for. The lower the specific thrust of a turbofan, the lower the mean jet outlet velocity, which in turn translates into a high ( i.e. Decreasing thrust with increasing flight speed).
See technical discussion below, item 2. Consequently, an engine sized to propel an aircraft at high subsonic flight speed (e.g., Mach 0.83) generate a relatively high thrust at low flight speed, thus enhancing runway performance. Low specific thrust engines tend to have a high bypass ratio, but this is also a function of the temperature of the turbine system. The turbofans on twin engined airliners are further more powerful to cope with losing one engine during take-off, which reduces the aircraft's net thrust by half. Modern twin engined airliners normally climb very steeply immediately after take-off. If one engine is lost, the climb-out is much shallower, but sufficient to clear obstacles in the flightpath. The Soviet Union's engine technology was less advanced than the West's and its first wide-body aircraft, the, was powered by low-bypass engines.
The, a medium-range, rear-engined aircraft seating up to 120 passengers introduced in 1980 was the first Soviet aircraft to use high-bypass engines. Turbofan configurations Turbofan engines come in a variety of engine configurations.
For a given engine cycle (i.e., same airflow, bypass ratio, fan pressure ratio, overall pressure ratio and HP turbine rotor inlet temperature), the choice of turbofan configuration has little impact upon the design point performance (e.g., net thrust, SFC), as long as overall component performance is maintained. Off-design performance and stability is, however, affected by engine configuration. As the design overall pressure ratio of an engine cycle increases, it becomes more difficult to operate at low rpm, without encountering an instability known as compressor surge. This occurs when some of the compressor aerofoils stall (like the wings of an aircraft) causing a violent change in the direction of the airflow. However, compressor stall can be avoided, at low rpm, by progressively:. opening interstage/intercompressor blow-off valves (inefficient), and/or.
closing variable stators within the compressor Most modern American civil turbofans employ a relatively high-pressure-ratio high-pressure (HP) compressor, with many rows of variable stators to control surge margin at low rpm. In the three-spool / the core compression system is split into two, with the IP compressor, which supercharges the HP compressor, being on a different coaxial shaft and driven by a separate (IP) turbine. As the HP compressor has a modest pressure ratio its speed can be reduced surge-free, without employing variable geometry. However, because a shallow IP compressor working line is inevitable, the IPC has one stage of variable geometry on all variants except the -535, which has none. Single-shaft turbofan Although far from common, the single-shaft turbofan is probably the simplest configuration, comprising a fan and high-pressure compressor driven by a single turbine unit, all on the same shaft. The, which powers Mirage fighter aircraft, is an example of a single-shaft turbofan. Despite the simplicity of the turbomachinery configuration, the M53 requires a variable area mixer to facilitate part-throttle operation.
Aft-fan turbofan One of the earliest turbofans was a derivative of the turbojet, known as the, which featured an integrated aft fan/low-pressure (LP) turbine unit located in the turbojet exhaust jetpipe. Hot gas from the turbojet turbine exhaust expanded through the LP turbine, the fan blades being a radial extension of the turbine blades. This aft-fan configuration was later exploited in the UDF (propfan) demonstrator of the early 80s. One of the problems with the aft fan configuration is hot gas leakage from the LP turbine to the fan. Basic two-spool Many turbofans have the basic two-spool configuration where both the fan and LP turbine (i.e., LP spool) are mounted on a second (LP) shaft, running concentrically with the HP spool (i.e., HP compressor driven by HP turbine). The is typical of this configuration.
At the smaller thrust sizes, instead of all-axial blading, the HP compressor configuration may be axial-centrifugal (e.g., ), double-centrifugal or even diagonal/centrifugal (e.g., ). Boosted two-spool Higher overall pressure ratios can be achieved by either raising the HP compressor pressure ratio or adding an intermediate-pressure (IP) compressor between the fan and HP compressor, to supercharge or boost the latter unit helping to raise the of the engine cycle to the very high levels employed today (i.e., greater than 40:1, typically). All of the large American turbofans (e.g., and plus and ) feature an IP compressor mounted on the LP shaft and driven, like the fan, by the LP turbine, the mechanical speed of which is dictated by the tip speed and diameter of the fan.
The Rolls-Royce BR715 is a non-American example of this. The high bypass ratios (i.e., fan duct flow/core flow) used in modern civil turbofans tends to reduce the relative diameter of the attached IP compressor, causing its mean tip speed to decrease. Consequently, more IPC stages are required to develop the necessary IPC pressure rise. Three-spool Rolls-Royce chose a three-spool configuration for their large civil turbofans (i.e., the and families), where the intermediate pressure (IP) compressor is mounted on a separate (IP) shaft, running concentrically with the LP and HP shafts, and is driven by a separate IP turbine.
The first three-spool engine was the earlier of 1967. Chose the same configuration for their engine, followed by and. The military turbofan also has a three-spool configuration, as do the military and. Geared fan. Geared turbofan As bypass ratio increases, the mean radius ratio of the fan and low-pressure turbine (LPT) increases.
Consequently, if the fan is to rotate at its optimum blade speed the LPT blading will spin slowly, so additional LPT stages will be required, to extract sufficient energy to drive the fan. Introducing a, with a suitable gear ratio, between the LP shaft and the fan enables both the fan and LP turbine to operate at their optimum speeds. Typical of this configuration are the long-established, the /507, and the recent.

Military turbofans. Chevrons on an engine. In the industry, chevrons are the saw tooth patterns on the trailing edges of some nozzles that are used for. Their principle of operation is that, as hot air from the engine core mixes with cooler air blowing through the engine fan, the shaped edges serve to smooth the mixing, which reduces noise-creating turbulence. Chevrons were developed by Boeing with the help of.
Some notable examples of such designs are and. Recent developments Aerodynamic modelling is a mix of, and airflow on a single fan/ blade in a modern turbofan. The airflow past the blades has to be maintained within close angular limits to keep the air flowing against an increasing pressure. Otherwise the air will come back out of the intake. The (FADEC) needs accurate data for controlling the engine. The critical inlet temperature (TIT) is too harsh an environment, at 1,700 °C and 17 bars, for reliable.
During development of a new engine type a relation is established between a more easily measured temperature like temperature and the TIT. The EGT is then used to make sure the engine doesn't run too hot. Blade technology A 100 g blade is subjected to 1,700 °C/3100 °F, at 17 bars/250 Psi and a of 40 kN/ 9,000 lbf, well above the point of and even above the. Exotic, sophisticated schemes and special mechanical design are needed to keep the within the strength of the material. Must withstand harsh conditions for 10 years, 20,000 missions and rotating at 10–20,000 rpm. Blades temperature capabilities increased through the casting manufacturing process, the cooling design, and development. Cycle-wise, the HP turbine inlet temperature is less important than its rotor inlet temperature (RIT), after the temperature drop across its stator.
Although modern engines have peak RITs of the order of 1,560 °C (2,840 °F), such temperatures are experienced only for a short time during take-off on civil engines. Originally standard metal, have allowed blades to be made from lined up metallic crystals and more recently blades to operate at higher temperatures with less distortion.based are used for HP turbine blades in most modern jet engines. HP turbine inlet is cooled below its melting point with air bled from the compressor, bypassing the combustor and entering the hollow blade or vane. After picking up heat, the cooling air is dumped into the main gas stream and downstream stages are uncooled if the local temperatures are low enough. Fan blades Fan blades have been growing as jet engines have been getting bigger: each fan blade carries the equivalent of nine and swallows the volume of a every second. Advances in (CFD) modelling have permitted complex, 3D curved shapes with very wide, keeping the fan capabilities while minimizing the blade count to lower costs. Coincidentally, the grew to achieve higher and the fan diameter increased.
Rolls-Royce pioneered the hollow, wide-chord fan blade in the 1980s for aerodynamic efficiency and resistance in the then for the. Introduced fan blades on the in 1995, manufactured today with a carbon-fiber tape-layer process.
GE partner developed a technology with for the and engines. Future progress Engine cores are shrinking as they are operating at higher and becoming more efficient, and become smaller compared to the fan as bypass ratios increase. Blade are harder to maintain at the exit of the high-pressure compressor where blades are 0.5 in (13 mm) high or less, bending further affects clearance control as the core is proportionately longer and thinner and the fan to low-pressure turbine driveshaft is in constrained space within the core. For VP technology and environment 'Over the history of commercial aviation, we have gone from 20% to 40% cruise efficiency, and there is a consensus among the engine community that we can probably get to 60%'.
And further fan reductions will continue to improve. The second phase of the FAA’s (CLEEN) program is targeting for the late 2020s reductions of 33% fuel burn, 60% emissions and 32 dB EPNdb noise compared with the 2000s state-of-the-art.
In summer 2017 at in, Pratt has finished testing a very-low-pressure-ratio fan on a, resembling an with less blades than the PW1000G's 20. The weight and size of the would be reduced by a short duct inlet, imposing higher aerodynamic turning loads on the blades and leaving less space for soundproofing, but a lower-pressure-ratio fan is slower. Aerostructures will have a full-scale ground test in 2019 of its low-drag Integrated Propulsion System with a, improving fuel burn by 1% and with 2.5-3 EPNdB lower noise. Can probably deliver another 10–15% in fuel efficiency through the mid-2020s before reaching an, and next will have to introduce a breakthrough: to increase the to 35:1 instead of 11:1 for the, it is demonstrating a counterrotating unducted fan (propfan) in, under the European technology program. Advances and high materials may help it succeed where previous attempts failed. When noise levels will be within current standards and similar to the Leap engine, 15% lower fuel burn will be available and for that Safran is testing its controls, vibration and operation, while integration is still challenging.
For, the of jet fuel still maximises the and higher pressure ratio cores, lower pressure ratio fans, low-loss inlets and lighter structures can further improve thermal, transfer and propulsive efficiency. Under the ’s, adaptive will be used for the, based on a modified and combustion. In the will reduce weight by 5% and fuel burn by 20%. Rotating and static (CMC) parts operates 500 °F (260 °C) hotter than metal and are one-third its weight. With $21.9 million from the, GE is investing $200 million in a CMC facility in, in addition to its site, mass-producing matrix with silicon-carbide fibers in 2018. CMCs will be used ten times more by the mid-2020s: the CFM LEAP requires 18 CMC turbine shrouds per engine and the will use it in the combustor and for 42 HP turbine nozzles.
Aim for a 60:1 pressure ratio core for the 2020s and began ground tests of its 100,000 hp (75,000 kW) gear for 100,000 lbf (440 kN) and 15:1 bypass ratios. Nearly turbine entry temperatures approaches the theoretical limit and its impact on emissions has to be balanced with environmental performance goals. Open rotors, lower pressure ratio fans and potentially offers more room for better propulsive efficiency. Exotic cycles, and pressure gain/constant volume combustion can improve. Additive manufacturing could be an enabler for and. Closer airframe integration and or can be combined with gas turbines.
Current Rolls-Royce engines have a 72–82% propulsive efficiency and 42–49% thermal efficiency for a 0.63–0.49 lb/lbf/h (64,000–50,000 g/kN/h) at Mach 0.8, and aim for theoretical limits of 95% for open rotor propulsive efficiency and 60% for thermal efficiency with stoichiometric entry temperature and 80:1 for a 0.35 lb/lbf/h (36,000 g/kN/h) TSFC Manufacturers The turbofan engine market is dominated by, and, in order of market share.

For more details on this topic, see. An axial fan is a type of a that increases the of the air flowing through it. The blades of the fans force air to move to the shaft about which the blades rotate. In other words, the flow is axially in and axially out, linearly, hence their name. The design priorities in an axial fan revolve around the design of the that creates the difference and hence the suction that retains the flow across the fan. The main components that need to be studied in the designing of the propeller include the number of blades and the design of each blade. Their applications include propellers in, and.
They are also used in and. If the propeller is exercising, then is the only of interest and other parameters like required and are considered of no interest. In case the propeller is used as a fan, the parameters of interest includes, rise and. An axial fan consists of much fewer blades i.e., two to six, as compared to. Axial fans operate at high i.e., high flow rate and low head and hence adding more blades will restrict the high flow rate required for its operation. Due to fewer blades, they are unable to impose their on the flow, making the geometry and the inlet and outlet meaningless. Also the blades are made very long with varying blade along the radius.
Contents. Calculation of parameters Since the calculation cannot be done using the inlet and outlet, which is not the case in other, calculation is done by considering a for flow only through an infinitesimal blade element. The blade is divided into many small elements and various parameters are determined separately for each element. There are two theories that solve the parameters for axial fans:.
Slipstream Theory. Blade Element Theory Slipstream theory. This Figure shows the Performance Curve for Axial Flow Fan.
The relationship between the variation and the volume are important characteristics of fans. The typical characteristics of can be studied from the performance. The performance curve for the axial fan is shown in the figure. (The vertical line joining the maximum point is drawn which meets the curve at point 'S') The following can be inferred from the curve -. As the flow rate increases from zero the efficiency increases to a particular point reaches maximum value and then decreases. The power output of the fans increases with almost constant positive slope.
The pressure fluctuations are observed at low discharges and at flow rates(as indicated by the point 'S' ) the pressure deceases. The pressure variations to the left of the point 'S' causes for unsteady flow which are due to the two effects of Stalling and surging. Causes of unstable flow Stalling and surging affects the fan, blades, as well as output and are thus undesirable. They occur because of the improper design, fan physical properties and are generally accompanied by noise generation. Stalling effect/Stall The cause for this is the separation of the flow from the blade surfaces. This effect can be explained by the flow over an air foil. When the increases (during the low velocity flow) at the entrance of the air foil, flow pattern changes and separation occurs.
This is the first stage of stalling and through this separation point the flow separates leading to the formation of vortices, back flow in the separated region. For a further the explanation of and rotating stall, refer to.
The stall zone for the single axial fan and axial fans operated in parallel are shown in the figure. The Figure shows the Stall Prone Areas differently for One fan and Two fans in parallel.
The following can be inferred from the graph:. For the Fans operated in parallel, the performance is less when compared to the individual fans. The fans should be operated in safe operation zone to avoid the effects.
VFDs are not practical for some Axial fans Many Axial fan failures have happened after controlled blade axial fans were locked in a fixed position and Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) were installed. The VFDs are not practical for some Axial fans. Axial fans with severe instability regions should not be operated at blades angles, rotational speeds, mass flow rates, and pressures that expose the fan to stall conditions. Surging effect/Surge Surging should not be confused with stalling. Stalling occurs only if there is insufficient air entering into the fan blades causing separation of flow on the blade surface.
Surging or the Unstable flow causing complete breakdown in fans is mainly contributed by the three factors. System surge. Fan surge. Paralleling System surge This situation occurs when the system resistance curve and curve of the fan intersect have similar slope or parallel to each other.
Rather than intersecting at a definite point the curves intersect over certain region reporting system surge. These characteristics are not observed in. Fan surge This operation results from the development of in the opposite direction of the flow. Maximum pressure is observed at the discharge of the blade and minimum pressure on the side opposite to the discharge side. When the blades are not rotating these adverse pressure pump the flow in the direction opposite to the direction of the fan. The result is the oscillation of the fan blades creating and hence. Paralleling This effect is seen only in case of multiple fans.
The air flow capacities of the fans are compared and connected in same or same inlet conditions. This causes, specifically referred to as in case of fans in parallel.
To avoid use is made of differing inlet conditions, differences in of the, etc. Methods to avoid unsteady flow By designing the fan blades with proper hub-to-tip and analyzing performance on the number of blades so that the flow doesn't separate on the blade surface these effects can be reduced. Some of the methods to overcome these effects are re-circulation of excess air through the fan, axial fans are high specific speed devices operating them at high and to minimize the effects they have to be operated at low. For controlling and directing the flow use of is suggested. Turbulent flows at the inlet and outlet of the fans cause so the flow should be made by the introduction of a to prevent the effect.
