Scope of work :

Turbine design of blade angle :

we chose degree of angle from 15 degree ,18 degree,21 degree 30 degree and 3-blade
axial .
We are testing at water velocities from 1 m/s , 1.5 m/s and 2 m/s and two condition of
free flow water and using collection chamber .

Thesis Output :

We get high torque generation from the result turbine testing and numerical analysis to determine the
optimal spiral turbine blade angle showed that under the condition of free flow .and we get the blades were
most suitably set at 21 degrees. With maximum torque at a water velocity of 2 m/s, equivalent to 21.58
Nm. Under the condition of using the collection chamber, maximum torque was at a water velocity of
2 m/s, equivalent to 24.22 Nm. Torque increased as the velocity of the water increased from 0.5 to 1
and 2 m/s.
Thesis Outcome :
Developed a horizontal spiral turbine model increase efficiency of hydro power at 21 degree at water
velocity 2 m/s from testing torque of the turbines at water velocities of 1.0, 1.5, and 2 m/s.
