Fan Blade Optimization and Flow Field Analysis for Cotton Picker
As a fundamental element of the pneumatic conveying system,the fan's performance will impact the operational efficiency of the cotton harvester.Optimized design of centrifugal fan blades for improved maximum airflow of pneumatic conveying system.A CFD numerical model has been established and 20 sample sets have been generated in the design space through the use of Latin hypercube experiments.Using the available sample data,we established an estimation model for the outlet air volume and design variables.An intelligent optimisation algorithm was then used to achieve the desired design plan.Compared to the prototype,the optimized design has notably enhanced the air outlet velocity.Additionally,according to the CFD analysis,the air volume has significantly increased by 17.27%under the rated speed condition.
