    Diseño y construcción de un banco de pruebas con turbina Kaplan para el laboratorio de la Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica, 2025-02) Salazar Vera, Pierre Iván; López Villacis, Gonzalo Eduardo
    The project for the design, construction and implementation of a test bench for the analysis of the efficiency of small-scale Kaplan hydraulic turbines arises from the need to take advantage of underutilized water resources in certain areas of the province. This test bench will be in the laboratory of the Civil and Mechanical Engineering faculty, allowing students to understand the operation of Kaplan turbines and their potential to generate electricity from water resources. During the process of building the test stand, significant challenges arose such as leaks in the system and excessive friction between the torque measurement shaft and the turbine. To address these irregularities, additional stopcocks were installed. One of these stopcocks controls the flow rate at the pump outlet, allowing precise experimental adjustments. The second stopcock regulates the pressure within the circuit before the water recirculates to the tank, monitored by a glycerin manometer to measure pressures between 0.5 and 2 PSI. Medical dynamometers strategically placed at the end of the shaft provided accurate torque measurements, revealing values between 0.5 and 1.5 Nm, validating the effectiveness of the mechanical design. After overcoming irregularities and optimizing the components, the test bench was successfully operated in function tests, meeting the established objectives by providing effective flow, pressure and torque measurements. This project represents a significant advance towards the use of renewable energies, making efficient use of local water resources for educational and engineering research purposes.

    Estudio del flujo de agua para generar reportes de práctica en el tablero de fluídos del laboratorio de la Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato. Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica. Carrera de Ingeniería Mecánica., 2011) Vargas Pico, Edison Germán; Valencia Vargas, Susana Elizabeth
    Se tomaron datos en las guías de prácticas con varios valores de presión de caudal para comparar los tiempos de llenado, tanto del tablero de fluidos análogo como con el mismo ya modificado, y mejorar los mismos. La modificación del equipo consistió en colocar dos sensores de nivel en el tanque de llenado, los mismos que se encargan de encender y apagar la bomba de forma automática, contralando con más precisión estos tiempos. También se instaló una electroválvula en la parte de retorno para que el fluido regrese al tanque inicial únicamente por gravedad, y así suprimir el trabajo riguroso y pesado que tenía que realizar el operario del equipo. Mediante las experimentaciones del flujo de agua realizadas en el tablero de fluidos de laboratorio de la Facultad de Ingeniería Civil y Mecánica, se observo claramente que se corrigieron los reportes de práctica en tiempos de llenado, mediante la comparación de datos que se obtuvieron en los ensayos. Esto va a satisfacer la necesidad tanto de profesores como alumnos para realizar prácticas con el equipo. Se concluyó que al facilitar la manipulación del equipo y mejorar los tiempos de desarrollo de los ensayos, esto va a satisfacer la necesidad tanto de profesores como alumnos para realizar prácticas con el dispositivo.
