Banco de prueba para determinación de las curvas de Eficiencia de las Turbinas Pelton Universidad Antonio Nariño de Neiva-Huila sede Buganviles

Abstract

The existing hydroelectric didactic bank at the Antonio Nariño University of the Neiva campus does not currently provide services due to a series of breaks, damage and lack of maintenance, this situation makes it impossible for both students and teachers to carry out laboratory practices related to different subjects. The thesis project focuses on an improvement proposal for the recovery and updating of the hydroelectric didactic bank that exists in the Antonio Nariño university, Neiva-Huila branch, Buganviles headquarters. The improved didactic bench will allow to carry out analysis and didactic studies of determination of characteristic curves in Pelton turbines for a better understanding of the subjects mechanics of fluids, fundamentally hydraulic machines and thermodynamics. For the recovery of the hydroelectric didactic bench, a characterization and diagnosis were first carried out, then the technical improvements were proposed and finally, a laboratory practice guide was presented. Once the maintenance has been developed and the improvements to the test bench and the proposal of exercises to be developed have been introduced, the students and professors of the mechanical engineering program of the Buganviles Headquarters will have better conditions for a better understanding of the concepts studied. theories presented by the faculty and the achievement of the necessary skills for a future mechanical engineer.
