The need for usage of renewable resources is increased for last few years mainly to protect our environment and it can be harnessed by means of wind turbines. In the present study, a small model Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT) to a geometric scale of 1:13 has been designed based on the BEM theory using Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD). The scaled model of HAWT corresponding to the CADD model has fabricated and tested in the wind tunnel. The details of fabrication process, experimental setup and torque and rpm for different wind speeds of the blade were studied and reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
