    1. The document reports on the performance analysis of a centrifugal blower through a series of tests conducted on the blower test rig. Tests were conducted for 3 different blade configurations: radial, reverse, and forward blades. 2. For each blade configuration, the blower speed, valve position, venturimeter readings, suction head, pitot tube readings, timing, blower output, static head developed, volume flow rate, and overall efficiency were measured and recorded for various speed and valve position settings. 3. Formulas used to calculate the maximum input power to the blower, static head developed, and overall blower efficiency are also presented. Tabular columns of the results for each blade configuration

    FORMULAE FOR CALCULATION:
    for maximum speed
    1) Input to Blower in kW: (IP)
    Input to blower = n x 3600 = 5 x 3600 = 1.24 KW
    t x Em 9.07 x 1600
    2) Static Head developed due to air (Pitot tube):
    Hsta = hsta x δw
    1000 δa
    Hsta = 10 x 1000
    1000 x 1.193
