Summary
- An executive summary should be brief. Be sure to discuss your set up and results. Do not include statements in your report such as, “This will help me as an engineer. I learned a lot about wind energy.” Stay focused on your results and keeping it concise.
- The Executive Summary should be about 4 paragraphs. Use a professional writing style with full sentences. Reports are to be written without using the word “I” or “we”.
Task 1
- Include the lab set up and a very short discussion of the results specific to Task 1.
- See the procedures if any graphs are required for each task. For Task 1 include a graph of Power Output of the Turbine vs. Fan Voltage. Label graphs as Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 etc. through the lab. All graphs should have proper titles and axes labels with units. Label tables as Table 1 etc.
Task 2
- Include the lab set up and a very short discussion of the results specific to Task 2.
- For Task 2 include a graph of Wind Power Wind Velocity.
Task 3
- Include the lab set up and a very short discussion of the results specific to Task 3.
- For Task 3 include a graph of Turbine Efficiency vs. Wind Velocity.
Task 4
- Create 4 different turbine blades. You will be testing them one at a time. Include a picture with labeling of the different turbine blades in the report.
- Determine in your opinion why certain blades performed better than others.
Task 5
- Explain your experimental plan and what was the effect of changing the hub angle, the number of blades etc.. Include a table of the data.
- What was your conclusion?
Task 6
- See the procedures for the calculations. Show your work.
