    FD Fan Efficiency Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Praveen Varatharajan
    This document provides calculations to analyze the effectiveness of a heat mass rate in an existing diesel burner and the efficiency of an FD fan in a radiator. It analyzes: 1) The heat required to increase the temperature of air flowing through a diesel burner and compares it to the heat produced by burning diesel, calculating the burner efficiency. 2) The additional heat required to remove moisture from the air and recalculates the efficiency. 3) The air flow rate through an FD fan in a radiator, the power input to the fan motor, and calculates the fan efficiency.
