LITERATURE REVIEW
Sr. Author [Ref] Findings

No.
1 JL Menet et. al. 2012 [1] The increase of wind speed, causes torque to increase,
however this necessarily need not increase the power
coefficient.
2 Gupta R. et. al. 2012 [2] The maximum power coefficient of 51% was found
where there was no overlap
3 A. Biswas et. al. 2012 [3] Optimum aspect ratio for Savonius rotor was found to be
0.8
4 UK Saha et. al. 2008 [4] Among a comparison between the semicircular and the
twisted ones, the semicircular model was found to be
more efficient than the twisted one
5 Md. Quamrul Islam et. al. Maximum torque is generated when blades are at angle
2005 [5] of 120o with wind velocity.
