Análisis de la Simulación Numérica de una Turbina de Pequeña Escala para Tuberías de Agua Variando el Número de Álabes
Resumen
El aprovechamiento de la energía hidráulica en sistemas de tuberías representa una alternativa eficiente y sostenible para generar electricidad a pequeña escala. En este contexto, las turbinas tipo Savonius son una opción para la obtención de energía en tuberías de redes de distribución de agua, ya que convierten la energía cinética del agua en energía mecánica o eléctrica, siendo ideales para espacios confinados y comunidades con recursos limitados. En este estudio, se simuló el efecto del número de álabes en la velocidad del flujo usando Dinámica de Fluidos Computacional (CFD, por sus siglas en ingles) en condiciones de estado permanente, variando de 2 a 12 álabes. Los resultados indican que las turbinas con menor número de álabes logran mayores velocidades máximas del fluido, pero generan extensas áreas con velocidades negativas, pudiendo reducir su eficiencia. La turbina con seis álabes mostró un equilibrio óptimo entre velocidades axiales positivas y negativas, destacando como la configuración que podría ser más eficiente. Estos hallazgos contribuyen al diseño de turbinas más efectivas para aplicaciones específicas.
