In the low pressure section of the steam turbines the damages due to the erosion are pronounced becoming remarkable in all the stages, since the generation of water liquid microparticles implies the impact on the blades ...

This work presents the design and development of a remote monitoring system for the blades' strain in a small wind turbine (SWT). The monitoring system allows real-time transmission of the stress to a remote client which ...

In this work, a mini wind turbine was developed that takes advantage of the kinetic energy of the winds around a moving car. The blades were designed according to inclination angles in order to capture as much energy as ...

The premature failure of steam turbine rotor blades, manufactured in forged 12% Cr-NiMoV martensitic stainless steel, was investigated using visual inspection non-destructive testing, macro and microfractography, microstructural ...

A model of the power coefficient of a mid-scale Magnus wind turbine using numerical solutions of the Blade Element Momentum Theory and symbolic regression is presented. A direct method is proposed for solving the nonlinear ...

This paper presents a revised MATLAB program for estimating the subsonic aerodynamic characteristics of an optimal design of wind turbine blades using the Vortex Lattice Method (VLM). The aerodynamic characteristics of ...

Transforming industrial wastes into construction materials through recycling is a feasible alternative that contributes to reduce the consumption of natural resources. Besides, modern civil construction seeks strong ...
