title = "Performance investigation of very-low-head kaplan hydro-turbines",
abstract = "A hydro turbine as any other turbomachine needs to operate with the optimum possible conditions, by optimizing each component in the system. This project investigated the optimum design for the turbine rotor (runner) and a stator set to implement micro-hydro turbines in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Also, a simulation study was conducted to test a variety of designs that need to be investigated, and In-house code was used to optimize the rotor/stator set. Thus, various parameters were investigated for testing the performance of the turbine regarding power and efficiency. Kaplan turbine was assumed in this case with five blades for the rotor and nine blades for the stator under the conditions of 3 meters of head and 3000 rpm of rotational speed. Moreover, optimization for the numerical solution itself was investigated in this study.",
