Numerical simulation of the inlet channel geometry influence in the torque generated at the gravitation water vortex turbine
Andres Burbano, Jorge Sierra, Edwin Correa, Alejandro Ruiz, Daniel Sanin The gravitational water vortex turbine is presented as an alternative for electric power generation for both low head and water flow conditions, additionally it is easy and low cost to implement and maintenance. However, the experimentally reported efficiencies motivate the scientific community to develop new […]
EFFECT OF FLOW STEERING ANGLE TOWARD THE HYDROKINETIC TURBINE PERFORMANCE
Rudy Soenoko, Hastono Wijaya The kinetic turbine is one of the solutions for use in low-speed river flows ranging from 0.01–2.8 m/s. This kinetic turbine is used as a conversion equipment to convert the water kinetic energy into an electrical energy. The working principle of a kinetic turbine is utilizing and relies on the water kinetic […]
