Hi,
I have used mrf approach to simulate an axial fan and i want to find the efficiency of this fan. To do so I need 4 parameters (i.e del P, vol flow rate, rpm and torque). Can anyone tell, how I can find torque and which surface i should select to measure this torque value ?

Create a moment report. The input surfaces for the report will be all blade surfaces which participate to the moment. Don't forget the rotating parts of the hub (when applicable).

gozdamar, number of blades is not a parameter for determining fan efficiency.

I took only one so that the effıcıency of one blade means all systems efficiency yes?
