Módulo Para la Generación de Geometrías Para Máquinas Hidráulicas Axiales Por Medio Del Programa Inventor

Abstract

This module focuses on the development and modeling of rotor geometries for axial hydraulic machines based on computer-aided design or CAD software. In this regard, it is important to emphasize two main points. Initially, the relevance of the topic covered in this document for engineering students, since the modeling of said geometries is the platform that allows the development and/or optimization of hydraulic machines that take advantage of renewable energies such as wind power or river currents. , without relevant impacts on the environment. This issue becomes more important when the impact could occur in areas not interconnected to the national electric power system, which, in 2017, represented 52% of the Colombian territory and a population of approximately 1,900,000 inhabitants (Delegated Superintendency for Energy and Fuel Gas, 2017). On the other hand, the specialized literature on the modeling of components by means of CAD software deals with general topics that contribute to the development of the student, but it is a complex task to find documents that provide specific information about the modeling of geometries for axial hydraulic machines. Therefore, this module seeks to promote the application of general knowledge in specific topics of hydraulic machines and bring students closer to the solution of problems of regional, national and global interest.
