How can the moment of inertia of a single inlet centrifugal fan be calculated?

In summary, a Single Inlet Centrifugal Fan is a type of fan that uses centrifugal force to move air or gas. It has a single inlet and a circular housing with rotating blades or impellers. This type of fan offers various benefits, such as high efficiency and pressure capability, compact size, and versatility in handling air volumes and pressures. It works by creating a low-pressure zone at the center and pushing air outwards with higher pressure. Single Inlet Centrifugal Fans are commonly used in HVAC systems, industrial processes, and transportation vehicles. When selecting a fan, factors such as required air volume, system pressure, efficiency, noise level, and appropriate sizing should be considered for optimal performance.
