Abstract

Experimental study of Archimedes screw turbine had been done in laboratory scale. Performance of Archimedes screw turbine was influenced by goemetric and fluid characteristic that flow in screw turbine. The aim of this research is to compare the performace of Archimedes screw turbine with using response surface methodology. The screw turbine model was made of acrylic. Performance testing of screw turbines is carried out with independent variables of flow rate, depth of turbine inlet flow and turbine shaft slope. While the dependent variable is the power and efficiency of the turbine.The results of this study are the screw turbines obtained maximum power and efficiency of 10.28 watts and 82.72% respectively with a shaft slope of 51.82 degrees, depth of turbine inlet flow of 0.064 m, and speed of inlet flow of 0.6 m/s.
