Mechanical Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Small Wind Rotor Blade Comparison

This Mechanical Engineering final year project examines comparing idealised blade designs under a shared low-speed wind profile through a bounded mechanical model or approved teaching-laboratory investigation with measurable comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

Focusing on comparing idealised blade designs under a shared low-speed wind profile gives the project a clear mechanical question and a manageable set of design choices. The comparison of power coefficient, starting torque and model sensitivity supports drawings, calculations and a discussion of the trade-offs and uncertainty behind the proposed solution.

How do the selected mechanical design or modelling choices affect power coefficient, starting torque and model sensitivity when comparing idealised blade designs under a shared low-speed wind profile?

Choose a feasible approved apparatus or explicitly fictional model, then agree dimensions, operating ranges and evaluation criteria for comparing idealised blade designs under a shared low-speed wind profile with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the geometry, operating assumptions and evidence needed for comparing idealised blade designs under a shared low-speed wind profile.
  2. 02Use a documented aerodynamic model, compare bounded blade parameters and check sensitivity to assumed losses and wind variation.
  3. 03Compare power coefficient, starting torque and model sensitivity and assess uncertainty and practical limitations.

A suggested research approach

Use a documented aerodynamic model, compare bounded blade parameters and check sensitivity to assumed losses and wind variation. Agree equipment access and safe operating limits before any physical work. Record units, boundary conditions and calibration or numerical checks, then evaluate power coefficient, starting torque and model sensitivity against a stated baseline and explain where simplified assumptions affect the result.

What you will need

  • Aerodynamic modelling tool
  • Documented airfoil data
  • Synthetic wind profiles

Keep your project scope clear

Modelled output does not establish structural safety or actual site energy yield.
