Abstract
In this paper, the design of 10 kW Kaplan turbine runner is design and simulation expressed. The available head and flow rate are 4 m and 0.42 m3/s respectively. The required speed to produce the expected output power is 980 rpm. There are many essential parts in Kaplan turbine such as guide vane, runner, casing and draft tube. Now, it intends to calculate the design of runner dimensions and blade profile mainly. The calculated runner diameter is 305 mm and the hub diameter is 122 mm. By using the design data of blade profile, 3D modeling blade profiles using AutoCAD software. Moreover the resistance of blade stresses and strains are simulated on the various pressures and forces by CFD software package.
