Rotor eólico Darrieus: um estudo experimental

Abstract

Performance analyse of a Darrieus rotor with straight an.d troposkien blades using NACA 0012 and NACA 0015 profiles was realized. A reduzed scale model (height = diameter = 500 mm) with "Prony" brake dynamometer was tested in a wind tunnel with a 1 m2 test section and maximum wind velocity of 8,0 m/s. The experimental results were compared with those of the theoretical computer model.
