Abstract |
This paper describes a design of a hair drier to improve its performance. the performance of the hair drier can be improved by increasing the wind velocity of its discharge port. the design of the hair drier is accomplished by using the CFD. the validity of design results were verified by comparison with the dry change of the hair drier. In this paper, the initial condition of the applied hair drier is as follows, the number of the blade is 9, the diameter of the suction port is 40[mm], the tip clearance is 12.5[mm], the con angle is 28.5^{\circ} and the fan angle is 27.5R. From design results, the enhanced condition of the hair drier can be obtained as follows, the number of the blade is 3, the diameter of the suction port is 50[mm], the tip clearance is 10.5[mm], the con angle is 21.5^{\circ} and the fan angle is 75R. At the enhanced condition of the hair drier, the wind velocity of the hair drier is 29[%] increase, and the dry time is 40[%] increase compare to the initial condition of the hair drier. |
