Axial Flow Impeller
Inline Fan vs Centrifugal Blower
In automobiles, a mechanical fan provides engine cooling and prevents the engine from overheating by blowing or sucking air through a coolant-filled radiator. It can be driven with a belt and pulley off the engine’s crankshaft or an electric fan switched on/off by a thermostatic switch.
Axial flow fans have blades that force air to move along the shaft about which the blades rotate. Axial fans blow air across the axis of the fan, linearly, hence their name. This type of fan is used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from small cooling fans for electronics to the giant fans used in wind tunnels.
Some examples of axial fans are:
Table fan – Basic elements of a typical table fan include the fan blade, base, armature and lead wires, motor, blade guard, motor housing, oscillator gearbox, and oscillator shaft. The oscillator is a mechanism that motions the fan from side to side. The axle comes out on both ends of the motor, one end of the axle is attached to the blade and the other is attached to the oscillator gearbox. The motor case joins to the gearbox to contain the rotor and stator. The oscillator shaft combines to the weighted base and the gearbox. A motor housing covers the oscillator mechanism. The blade guard joins to the motor case for safety.
Electro-mechanical fans, among collectors, are rated according to their condition, size, age, and number of blades. Four-blade designs are the most common. Five-blade or six-blade designs are rare. The materials from which the components are made, such as brass, are important factors in fan desirability.
Ceiling fan with light.Ceiling fan – A fan suspended from the ceiling of a room is a ceiling fan.
A variable pitch balde in axial fan blower is used where precise control of static pressure within supply ducts is required. The fan wheel will spin at a constant RPM . The blades follow the control pitch hub. As the hub moves toward the rotor the blades increase their angle of attack and an increase in flow results.
In centrifugal fan, as opposed to axial flow fan, the air is moving perpendicularly to the fan shaft. Often called a “squirrel cage” (due to its similarity in appearance to exercise wheels for pet rodents), the centrifugal fan has a moving component (called an impeller) that consists of a central shaft about which a set of blades, or ribs, are positioned. Centrifugal fans blow air at right angles to the intake of the fan, and spin the air outwards to the outlet (by deflection and centrifugal force). The impeller rotates, causing air to enter the fan near the shaft and move perpendicularly from the shaft to the opening in the scroll-shaped fan casing. A centrifugal fan produces more pressure for a given air volume, and is used where this is desirable such as in leaf blowers, hair driers, air mattress inflators, inflatable structures, and various industrial purposes. They are typically noisier than comparable axial fans.
A mixed flow fan is an air moving device in between axial flow fan and centrifugal fan. Mixed Flow fans are an excellent choice for return air, supply, or general ventilation applications where low sound is critical. As compared to similarly sized tubular centrifugals and vane axials, a mixed flow fan will be 5-20 dB quieter! In addition, the mixed flow wheel is extremely efficient and will cut down on operating expenses.

Can you tell me where the following pumps would be best suited?
Axial, flow-single and multi stage pumps,closed and open impeller pumps & fixed & variable pitched pumps.
Also mixed & radial flow pumps (single and double suction)
self priming, non priming,single stage, multistage, open,semi open & closed impeller pumps.
Peripheral pump info would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance if you could be bothered answering my question.
Cheers!
(waste water applications)
You have to know the characteristics of both the pumps and conditions under which they will be used. I have been doing marine engineering for many years and your question would require many pages to completely answer.
I would recommend you think of pumps as a fluid transfer device.
Sometimes for transfer of mechanical force such as hydraulics a pump would require the ability to create force against back pressure
Other pumps are for moving liquid or air from one place to another. sometimes for weight transfer such as anti roll devices on ships or pumping water or fuel here volume is of greater importance than back pressure.
I recommend you do your own research. I hope you aren’t just trying to bypass a homework assignment because a knowledge of pumps can and will be a useful part of knowing about the world in which you live. Especially if you hope for employment in a waste water facility.
