Designing Your Own CPU Cooler Fan: Fundamental Tips

[Kosmosisive]

Hi folks.I'm 3rd grade mechanical engineering student.I want to make cpu cooler.I will make pid controlled fan with an arduino. PID path is easy but I could not find anything about fan dynamics. I want to design my own fan.I need something like "fundamentals of fans" that should answer my questions like;

Which material should I use?
How many blades should I make?
How thin should it be?
How much degree of blades should I choose?
How many fins should I use? etc.

It's not my school project or homework,I just want to make it.In summer I have a lot of time.

Welcome to the PF.

Sounds like a fun project. I just googled your phrase Fundamentals of Fans, and got lots of good-looking hits. Why don't you give that a try first, and then post specific questions about that reading (with links to what you have read) if you have specific questions.
