Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract Turbines are one of the most important means of producing clean energy, as they do not cause any negative emissions affecting the environment. Recently, the need to design turbines capable of facing strong winds has appeared because the currently designed turbines must be cut off in such circumstances. This study aims to find the best design parameters and investigate the efficiency of the jet turbine at high wind speed conditions. SolidWorks and MatLab are used to design and analyze small jet wind turbines. The design parameters were chosen to obtain the best efficiency. The turbine diameter is 0.5 m, and the short blade length helps withstand the generated stresses due to strong wind, especially fatigue stress, and resists bending. Blade pitch angle beta starts from 2° from the vertical axis at the hub and changes harmonically along the length to end at an angle of 88° at the blade’s tip to allow air to pass through and not form a wall. The blade number has chosen 15 blades, corresponding to the Betz limit, to obtain the maximum power coefficient. As a result, the assigned power was obtained at a wind speed of 28 m/s. At a lower wind speed, it will work with acceptable efficiency and more efficiently at higher speeds. Therefore, this turbine is suitable to use in such cases.
