STUDY AND SIMULATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF GUIDE VANE SHAPE ON THE SOLAR VORTEX ENGINE SYSTEM USING CFD

This investigation affords a computational evaluation of a Hybrid Solar Vortex Engine (HSVE.PV) gadget, aiming to enhance airflow dynamics and improve machine efficiency thru changes to the manual vane geometry. Three vane configurations had been expected: a immediately vane at 20°, a curved vane, and a mixed right away-curved format. Using industrial Ansys Fluent 2024, the fashions were simulated under regular boundary conditions to investigate the effect on airflow pace and vortex formation within the chimney. The effects found out that the curved movement over the base case. The better vortex glide and stress distribution located in the third configuration suggest a large development in energy switch capability. The effects observed out that the curved Guide Vane accelerated airflow velocity moderately, whilst the blended layout completed the best average performance, with apeak outlet tempo of 1.737 m/s representing a 20% improvement over the base case. The more advantageous vortex waft and pressure distribution determined within the third configuration imply a large development in power transfer ability
