Abstract
Rotor of a water pumping windmill converts energy from the wind into shaft power. Hence rotor of a wind machine plays a very important role in wind pump application. For a given application of the wind machine,the aerodynamic design of rotor involves optimising the rotor and its components to produce maximum power co-efficient, which is the ratio of the actual rotor output to the energy available in the wind for a given rotor area. An effort has been made in this design exercise to optimise the rotor of a water pumping windmill for salt farming application from shallow wells (suction head less than 8 mt.)at Tuticorin, in Tamil Nadu,a moderate to strong windy coastal region, using a centripetal pump as the load.
