Abstract

Despite the growing demand for renewable energy, the utilization of tidal energy remains underdeveloped due to efficiency limitations in turbine design. Addressing this gap, this study investigates the performance of horizontal-axis tidal turbines (HATT) by comparing two foil designs, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) 2415 and OptA, to optimize energy extraction efficiency. The research employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using OpenFOAM to evaluate the effects of foil modifications and non-linear twist distributions on turbine performance across varying tip speed ratios (TSR). The results indicate that the OptA foil significantly improves turbine performance, achieving a 41.4% increase in torque and a 40.2% increase in power coefficient (CP) at TSR 5, which was identified as the optimal operating condition. The OptA foil enhances velocity distribution, reduces flow separation, and improves vortex behavior, leading to greater efficiency and stability. These findings confirm that foil selection and blade design modifications play a critical role in HATT optimization.

Abstract

The crossflow type Savonius turbine is capable to rotate at low current velocity conditions. The drawback of this turbine lies on its efficiency. This study aims to test its performance before implementation in the field. The research method used is an in-situ experimental study in Umbulan, Pasuruan. Turbine model T1 AR 1.145 without deflector is used, when TSR reaches a value of 0.824, it gets a CQ value of 0.327 and a CP value of 0.269. In the same model with deflector, when TSR reaches a value of 1.1, the CQ value is 0.251, and the CP value is 0.276. It can be concluded that this turbine is suitable for area with low current velocity.

Abstract

The presence of oxide layers covering the surface of aluminum is known to impede the hydrogen production reaction. These oxide layers can be broken by adding catalysts and increasing the aluminum-water reaction temperature. Common catalysts used are alkaline catalysts that are capable of achieving high hydrogen production rates in a short time at lower temperatures, while intermediate temperatures of above 50 °C can accelerate the hydration reaction of the oxide layer. Herein, the mixture of NaOH and NaAlO2 catalysts was employed to attain a stable NaAlO2 solution and continuous reaction of NaOH and aluminum. This research analyzes the influence of temperature between 32 and 80 °C on the aluminum, 0.3 M NaOH and 0.001 M NaAlO2 catalysts solution at atmospheric pressure. All solutions produces a similar hydrogen yields and rate. Solutions containing NaAlO2 indicate reverse reaction that surpressing the Al(OH)3 precipitation. Residue from the reaction is investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR), and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The volume of hydrogen produced is evaluated using a mathematical mass reduction and shrinking core model. The rate of hydrogen production depends largely on the aqueous solution's temperature, with an activation energy of 47.4 kJ/mol. Based on the findings, it is readily apparent that the reaction only produced gibbsite and bayerite, with gibbsite and bayerite being dominant at 32–70 °C and 80 °C, respectively. The mass reduction model fits well with the present results with only an average 5.1 mL deviation, whereas the shrinking core model generally tends to result in underestimated values with an average deviation of 23.9 mL.
