摘要

The Atmospheric Vortex Motor is a cutting-edge technology designed to meet our growing need for renewable and sustainable energy; it could be a promising future solution for large-scale production of clean and low-cost energy. This research aims to analyze and forecast vortex tower behavior using the Relap5 system code. A parametric study is also conducted to assess the impact of the heat exchange area on the vortex tower performance, aiming to identify optimal operating conditions and design by exploring a heat area ratio ranging from 0.1 to 5. The objective of this device is to enhance electrical energy generation by recovering energy previously released to the environment during cooling processes. The key data sought is the ideal location in the air stream with a suitable velocity for turbine installation. The tower model has been developed and validated through both numerical and experimental results, and it is well accepted. Findings show that this vortex tower model can produce air flow with a maximum speed of 5.5411 m/s at a height of 0.560 m from the base. As a result, a turbine can be installed in this location to optimize kinetic energy. Furthermore, the simulation demonstrated the importance of geometrical factors in improving vortex tower performance, revealing that increasing the heat surface ratio to 5 boosted the air velocity to a maximum of 5.6991 m/s. Hence, the Vortex Generator System could be a promising technique for generating electrical power.
