Industrial fan. Industrial fans and blowers are machines whose primary function is to provide and accommodate a large flow of air or gas to various parts of a building or other structures. This is achieved by rotating a number of blades, connected to a hub and shaft, and driven by a motor or turbine. The flow rates of these mechanical fans range from approximately 200 cubic feet to 2,000,000 cubic feet per minute. A blower is another name for a fan that operates where the resistance to the flow is primarily on the downstream side of the fan.
The Manhattan Project. The Manhattan Project was a research and development program, led by the United States with participation from the United Kingdom and Canada, that produced the first atomic bomb during World War II. It was also charged with gathering intelligence on the German nuclear energy project.
The Manhattan Project. World War II started on September 1 1939, when Germany attacked Poland. By 1941, the Germans were ahead in the race for the atomic bomb. They had a heavy-water plant, high-grade uranium compounds, capable scientists and engineers, and the greatest chemical engineering industry in the world.he program that developed the atomic bomb for the United States during World War II was the largest secret project ever undertaken by the U.S. government. The project was originally named Development of Substitute Materials, but there was concern that the name was too suggestive of its real purpose.
