SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the optimal placement of static pressure probes for measuring fan performance curves, specifically whether to position them near the surface or at the center of the duct. The consensus is that the placement depends on the specific application and measurement conditions required. Key parameters include the volume of air shifted per second rather than the speed of airflow in meters per second. Additionally, the impact of turbulence on static pressure measurements is acknowledged, suggesting that probe placement should consider flow dynamics.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of fan performance curves
