Question:
The water gauge developed and quantity circulated with an axial flow fan depends on
The water gauge developed and quantity circulated with an axial flow fan depends on
Show Hint
For axial flow fans,
\[
\boxed{
\text{Higher blade tip speed}
\Rightarrow
\text{Higher pressure and air quantity}.
}
\]

- Size of the fan
- Shape of the blades
- Design of the evasee
- Speed of the blade tips
Show Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Recall the operating characteristics of an axial flow fan.
The pressure (water gauge) developed and the quantity of air circulated by an axial flow fan are primarily governed by the tip speed of the blades.
Step 2: Identify the governing parameter. Since blade tip speed determines the energy imparted to the air, \[ \boxed{\text{Speed of the blade tips}} \] is the correct answer. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(D)} \] is the correct answer.
Step 2: Identify the governing parameter. Since blade tip speed determines the energy imparted to the air, \[ \boxed{\text{Speed of the blade tips}} \] is the correct answer. Therefore, \[ \boxed{(D)} \] is the correct answer.
