Patents by Inventor Md. Mahbub ALAM

Md. Mahbub ALAM has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 12116976
    Abstract: A turbine blade for a wind turbine, the turbine blade has a blowing and suction provision in form of a plurality of arrays of blowing and suction holes defined on a curved suction surface of the turbine blade. An apparatus for turbine blade testing includes the turbine blade. The apparatus also includes a wind tunnel, a blowing source, and a suction source. The wind tunnel includes a wind channel having first and second end plates for mounting the turbine blade. A method of testing air flow in a turbine blade involves changing holes used for blowing and suction and determining a momentum coefficient for those various holes; and varying angle of attack with measurement of lift/drag ratio.
