Abstract

Sustainable energy resources are becoming a growing and rapidly expanding source of energy. Research into clean and renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind energy, is a key topic in the production of alternative energy. The problem being addressed is the design, optimization, construction, and testing of a different angle of winglet configuration. The Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method can be used to compute the output of a propeller blade. The BEM method formulas and procedures are presented and their implementation is also illustrated using a NACA5514 airfoil shape. From this analysis, a reasonably good agreement in terms of power coefficients of airfoil can be found from the results of the computation.
