    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 ...
