"Esta Tesis presenta medidas de los campos de velocidad de flujo de partículas dentro del canal de aspas de un ventilador centrifugo usando Velocímetría de Partículas por Imágenes (PIV, por sus siglas en ingles), un método óptico para la visualización del flujo. Se concluyen que las mismas presentan buena adecuación y calidad. Previamente, la curva característica y eficiencia del ventilador fueron determinadas y validadas por investigaciones precedentes. Los datos obtenidos muestran una destacable concordancia con experimentos previos y una buena coincidencia con datos simulados existentes, hechos por el Instituto de Maquinaria de Fluidos, respectivamente. Las mediciones fueron llevadas a cabo a diferentes velocidades para probar su escalabilidad. El sistema de accionamiento y montaje de la cámara y laser usados para los experimentos fueron modificados para mejorar la calidad de los resultados y simplificar el procedimiento del experimento PIV. Las mediciones PIV fueron hechas en los puntos de máxima eficiencia, carga parcial y carga total, los cuales fueron determinados con anterioridad. La velocidad rotacional no fue variada du-rante los experimentos PIV, pero a diferencia de trabajos anteriores donde se realizaron mediciones un solo plano fijo en el canal del aspa, en el presente se realizaron mediciones en múltiples planos. Esto permitió visualizar el flujo en 3D con el uso de interpolación y pudieron recolectarse conocimientos profundos acerca de las condiciones de flujo."
