    Investigating the effect of aerodynamic damping on an axial flow fan blade 

    Basson, Nico Raymond (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2015-12)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Axial flow fans used in air-cooled condensers experience a variation in blade loading due to distorted inlet flow patterns and obstacles in close proximity to the fan blades. The fan blades vibrate at ...

    Simultaneous measurement of air flow conditions and resultant blade and gearbox loading at large-scale cooling system fans 

    Muiyser, Jacques (Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-12)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Axial flow fans used in large-scale air-cooled steam condensers (ACSCs) may operate under distorted inflow conditions. These conditions occur due to the prevailing wind conditions, the presence of ...
