needed |(air |has |less |mass), |static |pressure |(not |as |much |needed). |But |the |CFM |(volumetric |

wood |chips |& |dust.
Forward |blades |in |centrifugal |fan |- |correct |answer |Blades |are |curved |in |the |direction |of |
rotation. |Used |whenever |a |large |air |volume |has |to |be |moved |in |a |tight |space. |Requires |more |
power, |which |can |overload |motors.
