DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED FAN LAWS

SYSTEM TRAINER FOR

LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY –
CAVITE MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
LABORATORY
 Background of the study

Studying Fan laws are difficult to understand without

experimenting the actual process that are happening in the
system. Theories and formulas may not be enough to fully
understand the subject matter. With this problem, this study
thought of having a system trainer of these laws that can be
easily use by students. It will not only help the students, but also
the instructors.
 Objectives of the study
The general objective of this study is to develop and improve a system
trainer that will show the affinity laws of fans to be used for Mechanical Engineering
Laboratory of Lyceum of the Philippines University – Cavite Campus.

Specifically, this study aimed to:

• Design and construct a trainer that will be used by the Mechanical
Engineering Students that will take the topic about Fans and Blowers.
• Testing and evaluating the trainer by the Third Fan Law Equation with varying
speed in the trainer based on the data that will be gathered in the experiment.
• Improve the design by adding automated motor instead of the previous manual
belt operation.
• Improve the design to a geometrically-similar fan from the previous research.

 Significance of the study:

Students
The beneficiary of this trainer are the Mechanical Engineering Students. It will
help them understand what the laws of Fans and Blowers are.

Instructor
The development and the study will help the professors to teach the theories
and experiments through this trainer.
 Scope and Delimitations:

The general scope of the study is to develop a system

trainer for affinity laws of fans. Digital Manometer is used for
the measurements.

However, this study will not cover the internal circuit

design of the motor and blower and other parameters that
are not mentioned in the scope of the study.
