| Summary: | This research project will be touch about the design of vortex turbine by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation. The purpose of the design turbine is to improve the efficiency of the vortex turbine and used it on the gravitational water vortex power plant (GWVPP). GWVPP is a renewable technology that will be use renewable energy sources to produce power. In this research project, it will be designing the curved blades with exchangeable baffle plates. So, the main character of this research paper is appearance of baffle plates on the vortex turbine. According to the discover of the research article, the presence of baffle plates can improve the torque and efficiency of the curved blade turbine. In order to see the effect of baffle plates, there are three types of baffles will be designed which are no baffles, 50% baffle and 100% baffle. For the experimental data analysis, it shows that the presence of baffle plates can improve the torque and efficiency of curved blade turbine. The larger the surface area of baffle plates, the baffle plates reserved more water mass impact on the surface area of each blade. Future work of this research paper is applying baffle plates on others type of vortex turbine such as flat plate, skewed blade, and twisted blade profiles. |
