Experimental and mathematical investigation of wells turbine under bi-directional flow Available to Purchase

Wave energy has great potential to solve the unrelenting energy deficiency in Egypt. It has zero emissions and is therefore environmentally friendly energy. It can be used at any time as it is a renewable energy. In this work, the relationship between well turbines and wave energy is studied as a suitable option for the coast of Egypt. However, Egypt has extensive coastlines on the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Both experimental and mathematical analyses have been studied. In the experimental setup, a comparison between different types of airfoil in bidirectional flow is arranged. The setup consists of a reciprocating piston that compressed the air in the laboratory instead of wave motion. In the mathematical model, the starting and running characteristics of wells turbine are studied, by changing the starting rotation speed, starting Load on the system and changing mean rotor radius of the rotor. NACA00l2 turbine profile is proven to give the highest rotational speed with 78.53 mis better than NACA00l5 by 7%.
