2. Ducted fan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ducted_fan

   In aeronautics, a ducted fan is a thrust-generating mechanical fan or propeller mounted within a cylindrical duct or shroud. Other terms include ducted propeller or shrouded propeller . [ 1 ] When used in vertical takeoff and landing ( VTOL ) applications it is also known as a shrouded rotor .

3. Propfan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propfan

   A propfan, also called an open rotor engine, open fan engine [1] [2] or unducted fan (as opposed to a ducted fan), is a type of aircraft engine related in concept to both the turboprop and turbofan, but distinct from both. The design is intended to offer the speed and performance of a turbofan, with the fuel economy of a turboprop.

4. Propulsive efficiency - Wikipedia

   = is the heat energy delivered to the low-temperature system (heat sink). (It is positive because heat is added to the sink.) (It is positive because heat is added to the sink.) In other words, a heat engine absorbs heat from some heat source, converting part of it to useful work, and delivering the rest to a heat sink at lower temperature.

5. Fan coil unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_coil_unit

   A fan coil unit (FCU), also known as a Vertical Fan Coil Unit (VFCU), is a device consisting of a heat exchanger (coil) and a fan. FCUs are commonly used in HVAC systems of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings that use ducted split air conditioning or central plant cooling.

6. Pusher configuration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pusher_configuration

   Similarly, propeller failure is less likely to directly endanger the crew. [citation needed] A pusher ducted fan system offers a supplementary safety feature attributed to enclosing the rotating fan in the duct, therefore making it an attractive option for various advanced UAV configurations or for small/personal air vehicles or for aircraft ...

7. Fan (machine) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(machine)

   Appliances such as hair dryers and space heaters also use fans. They move air in air-conditioning systems and in automotive engines. Fans used for comfort inside a room create a wind chill by increasing the heat transfer coefficient but do not lower temperatures directly. Fans used to cool electrical equipment or in engines or other machines ...
