Abstract: In this project, the transient Analysis (Dynamic analysis) is involved to find the deformation, stress per time of the
exhaust fan of domestic air conditioning ducts because of change of speed axially. So this work deals with the speed and
pressure changes.
In this, CFD process is involved to determine steam flow of the air around the fan wings. From the transient structural analysis,
the deformation and stress as per the change of material properties and flow of air flow, vector direction of air, pressure and
velocity as per the change of rpm’s can be defined.
Keywords: CATIA, ANYSIS, CFD

I. INTRODUCTION
Air conditioning (often referred to as AC, A/C, or air conditioners) is the process of removing heat and moisture from the interior of
an occupied space, to improve the comfort of occupants. Air conditioning can be used in both domestic and commercial
environments. This process is most commonly used to achieve a more comfortable interior environment, typically for humans or
animals; however, air conditioning is also used to cool/dehumidify rooms filled with heat-producing electronic devices, such
as computer servers, power amplifiers, and even to display and store artwork.
Air conditioners often use a fan to distribute the conditioned air to an occupied space such as a building or a car to improve thermal
comfort and indoor air quality. Electric refrigerant-based AC units range from small units that can cool a small bedroom, which can
be carried by a single adult, to massive units installed on the roof of office towers that can cool an entire building. The cooling is
typically achieved through a refrigeration cycle, but sometimes evaporation or free cooling is used. Air conditioning systems can
also be made based on desiccants (chemicals which remove moisture from the air) and subterraneous pipes that can distribute the
heated refrigerant to the ground for cooling.
In the most general sense, air conditioning can refer to any form of technology that modifies the condition of air (heating, cooling,
(de-)humidification, cleaning, ventilation, or air movement). In common usage, though, "air conditioning" refers to systems which
cool air. In construction, a complete system of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning is referred to as heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
As all of us understand that the purpose of ventilation is to reduce or dilute the indoor contaminants, the experienced engineers
should determine how much air is necessary to dilute and reduce the contaminants to a desired level. The existence of ventilation
and indoor air quality can be traced back to 17th century. However, concerns about the bad air go back much farther than that. One
of the earliest reasons to implement the idea of ventilation is to ventilate
The indoor air to a desired level and environment and it is probably still the same problem we have today as why we implement
ventilation system in the house is to reduce and remove the products of combustion used for heat, light or cooking. People dated
back to 17th undoubtedly learned very quickly that if one brought fire inside the house for cooking, one needed to take the smoke
out. The design for ventilation has changed quickly over the time, but it has usually been in Mesa Verde National park, circa
750AD, using the same approach. The romans then invented and created a heating system called hypocaust heating system and
usually for the big buildings.

B. Introduction To Ansys Workbench

In ansys workbench this are the list of analysis can be determined:
1) Modal analysis
2) Static structural analysis
3) Transient structural analysis
4) Steady state thermal analysis
5) Transient thermal analysis
6) Fluid flow (CFD) etc.

C. Introduction To Modal Analysis

The modal analysis is used to calculate the vibration characteristics such as natural frequency and mode shape (deformed shapes) of
a structure or a machine component. The output of the modal analysis can be further used as input for the harmonic and transient
analyses.
For example, a cantilever beam, attached to a system vibrating at a certain frequency. It is important for the designer to find out
whether the beam will sustain the vibrations induced by the machine to which it is connected.
When the cantilever vibrates, various shapes are attained at certain frequencies. The shape of the component corresponding to a
frequency is known as mode shape. The mode shape is a graphical representation of the deformation attained due to vibration. The
main aim of the modal analysis is to find whether the natural frequency of the component is closer to the vibrations induced in the
component. In this example, with this cantilever, the maximum number of modes found is six. Through display the various mode
shapes of first, second, 3rd, and 4th modes, respectively.
If the natural frequency of a system is very close to the excitation frequency, the component can get into resonance and fail.
Therefore, to avoid the resonance, you need to strengthen the component on die basis of the mode shape. However, sometimes
strengthening the component may not be possible due to the design limitations. Also, in actual practice, the displacement produced
at resonance may not be infinite due to the presence of damping. Therefore, you need to calculate the response of a system under the

time/frequency-based loads. If the stress/strain/displacement response is less than the permissible limit, the component will not be
required to strengthen or redesign.
1) Performing the Modal Analysis: The Modal analysis is performed to find out the natural frequencies of a model. You can find
out more than one natural frequency of a model depending upon the degrees of freedom available.
The following steps are involved to perform a Modal analysis:
a) Set the analysis preference.
b) Create or import the geometry into ANSYS Workbench.
c) Define element attributes (element types, real constants, and material properties).
d) Define meshing attributes.
e) Generate a mesh for the model.
f) Specify the analysis type, analysis options, and apply loads.
g) Obtain the solution.
h) Review the results.
i) Most of these steps have already been discussed in previous chapters.
2) Adding Modal Analysis System to ANSYS Workbench: To perform a Modal analysis in ANSYS Workbench, you need to add the
Modal analysis system from the Analysis Systems toolbox in the Toolbox window to the Project Schematic window,
3) Starting the Mechanical Window: To start the analysis, double-click on the Model cell of the Modal analysis system to display
the Mechanical window. The components of the Mechanical window displayed by using the Model cell of the Modal analysis
system are similar to the components of the Mechanical window displayed by using the Static Structural analysis system.

Fig. 2The Mechanical window with the Modal node displayed in the Tree Outline

In the Mechanical window, you can set the number of modes or natural frequencies you need
To find shows the Tree Outline of the Mechanical window.
4) Specifying Analysis Setting: After generating mesh for the model, it is required to specify the setting needed to run the modal
analysis. To do so, select analysis settings displayed under the model node in the tree outline, the details of analysis settings
windows will be displayed. In this window, specify a value in the max modes to find edit box to display the various mode
shapes. A limit can be assigned to the search of mode shape display by selecting yes from the Limit Search to Range drop-down
list. On doing so, the Range Minimum and Range Maximum edit boxes will be displayed. Specify the values for the minimum
and maximum frequencies in these edit boxes to find mode shapes of the model within that specified range. Select the Yes
option from the Damped drop-down list in the Details of “Analysis Settings” window to apply clamping on a model, refer to
Figure. The default selection in the Damped drop-down list is No. As a result, ANSYS Workbench will not consider the system
to be damped. In such cases, the analysis is known as damped modal analysis where the mode shapes and natural frequencies
are complex. After the analysis setup is done, you need to solve the model. You can do so by choosing the Solve tool from the
Standard toolbar in the Mechanical window. After the model is solved, you to plot the mode shape. The procedure to plot the
mode shapes is explained next.

IV. INTRODUCTION TO STATIC STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

A. Introduction
In this project, we imported the geometry of the component show the dimensions for the component with respect to the load
applications. The material to be applied on the model is Stainless Steel. Next, you will run the analysis under two conditions and
evaluate the Total Deformation, Directional Deformation, Equivalent Stress, Maximum Principal Stress, and Minimum Principal
Stress.
The Static Structural analysis is one of the important analyses in ANSYS Workbench. It is available as Static Structural analysis
system under the Analysis System toolbox in the Toolbox window, this system analyses the structural components for
displacements (deformation), stresses, strains, and forces under different loading conditions. The loads in this analysis system are
assumed not to have damping characteristics (time dependent). Steady loading and damping conditions are assumed in this type of
analysis system.
To start a new Static Structural analysis system, double-click on Static Structural in the Analysis Systems toolbox in the Toolbox
window; the Static Structural analysis system will be added to the Project Schematic window.
To start an analysis, first you need to specify the geometry on which the analysis is to be done. To do so, you can import the
geometry from an external CAD package, or you can create the geometry in the ANSYS's Design Modeler software. After the
model is specified for an analysis, you need to double-click on the Model cell of the Static Structural analysis system to open the
Mechanical window. In this window, you can specify the parameters and run the analysis.

V. TRANSIENT STRUCTURAL (Dynamic) ANALYSIS

A. Introduction
In this project, we imported the geometry of the component show the dimensions for the component with respect to the load
applications. The material to be applied on the model is Stainless Steel. Next, you will run the analysis under two conditions and
evaluate the Total Deformation, Directional Deformation, Equivalent Stress, Maximum Principal Stress, and Minimum Principal
Stress.
The transient structural (dynamic) analysis is one of the important analyses in ANSYS Workbench. It is available as transient
structural (dynamic) analysis system under the Analysis System toolbox in the Toolbox window, this system analyses the structural
components for displacements (deformation), stresses, strains, and forces under different loading conditions with respect to time or
step. The loads in this analysis system are assumed not to have damping characteristics (time dependent). Steady loading and
damping conditions are assumed in this type of analysis system.
To start a new transient structural (dynamic) analysis system, double-click on transient structural (dynamic) in the Analysis Systems
toolbox in the Toolbox window; the transient structural (dynamic) analysis system will be added to the Project Schematic window.
To start an analysis, first you need to specify the geometry on which the analysis is to be done. To do so, you can import the
geometry from an external CAD package, or you can create the geometry in the ANSYS's Design Modeler software. After the
model is specified for an analysis, you need to double-click on the Model cell of the transient structural (dynamic) analysis system
to open the Mechanical window. In this window, you can specify the parameters and run the analysis.
As discussed in previous chapters, analysis can be carried out in three major steps: pre-processing, solution, and post-processing.
The tools required to carry out these steps are discussed next.

VI. COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a computer-based tool for simulating the behavior of systems involving fluid flow, heat
transfer, and other related physical processes. It works by solving the equations of fluid flow (in a special form) over a region of
interest, with specified (known) conditions on the boundary of that region.
Computers have been used to solve fluid flow problems for many years. Numerous programs have been written to solve either
specific problems, or specific classes of problems. From the mid-1970s, the complex mathematics required to generalize the
algorithms began to be understood, and general purpose CFD solvers were developed. These began to appear in the early 1980s and
required what were then very powerful computers, as well as an in-depth knowledge of fluid dynamics, and large amounts of time to
set up simulations. Consequently, CFD was a tool used almost exclusively in research.
Recent advances in computing power, together with powerful graphics and interactive 3D manipulation of models, have made the
process of creating a CFD model and analyzing results much less labor intensive, reducing time and, hence, cost. Advanced solvers
contain algorithms that enable robust solutions of the flow field in a reasonable time.
As a result of these factors, Computational Fluid Dynamics is now an established industrial design tool, helping to reduce design
time scales and improve processes throughout the engineering world. CFD provides a cost-effective and accurate alternative to scale
model testing, with variations on the simulation being performed quickly, offering obvious advantages.
A. Uses of CFD
CFD is used by engineers and scientists in a wide range of fields. Typical applications include:
1) Process Industry: Mixing vessels, chemical reactors
2) Building Services: Ventilation of buildings, such as atriums
3) Health And Safety: Investigating the effects of fire and smoke
4) Motor Industry: Combustion modeling, car aerodynamics
5) Electronics: Heat transfer within and around circuit boards
6) Environmental: Dispersion of pollutants in air or water
7) Power And Energy: Optimization of combustion processes
8) Medical: Blood flow through grafted blood vessels

VII. RESULTS

Above graph represents vibrations of exhaust fan wings with respect to the different modes for different curvature angles.

Above graph represents velocity (or) fluctuations of air for the different stream lines are almost similar (or) same so here the
velocity of air is less. The highest velocity is 5m/s at 33° of position of exhaust fan wings with curvature angle 26.

Above graph represents velocity(or)fluctuations of air flow for the different stream lines are different. So here the velocity of air is
in average.

Above graph represents velocity(or) fluctuations of air flow for the different stream lines are is to high compared to other two
curvature angles. So hence here more will be the air flow rate. The highest velocity of air flow 22m/s at 5° position of exhaust fan
wings.

VIII. CONCLUSION
In this project, the LG outward Exhaust Fan of 25° curvature angle is taken and the curvature angle is increased and decreased by 1
degree for comparison that which is the best and these fan wings are designed on Catia software then after these are analysed by
using Ansys software.
This report has discussed that Exhaust Fan Wings with 24° curvature angle is the best suited for high mass flow of air and also
having high velocity of air flow than the Exhaust Fan Wings with 25 and 26 degrees curvature angle.
