Abstract
Demand for renewable energy has steadily increased during recent years due to the shortage of fossil energy and concerns about global climate change. Generating renewable energy using a small propeller in a wastewater pipe is a promising idea to derive power from flowing water. We performed a numerical study to determine the maximum torque value from a propeller with 1.21 kg/s of mass flow rate and rotation frequency range from 0 to 3000 rpm. We also assessed the power efficiency and electrical power for this small propeller.
