Performance and Robustness of Wind Turbine Blades Composed of Recovered Waste Carpet Fiber Polymer CompositesBy Rakshapal Singh Rajawat, Rahul Singh
Abstract: Carpets stay in good condition for ten to fifteen years, after which they wear out and are discarded. The large amount of used carpet waste is often dumped in landfills, causing health risks, air pollution, and other environmental problems. To reduce the growth of landfill sites, it is essential to implement recycling measures for carpet waste, protecting the environment by reusing these materials in new products. Carpet are made from …

Testing of Efficiency of Wind Turbine Blade NACA2415 Aerofoil Type Using Recycled Carpet Waste Polymer Composite MaterialBy Rakshapal Singh Rajawat, Rajneesh Kumar Singh
Abstract: In 2020, over 50% of residential properties in the United States were outfitted with carpet flooring, boasting an average longevity ranging from 10 to 18 years. Carpets are crafted from various fibers, including woven nylon, polyester, polypropylene, or wool fibers. Historically, nearly 6 billion pounds of discarded carpets were directed to landfill sites, perpetually undergoing decomposition processes. My current project entails the fabrication of a wind turbine blade utilizing a …

Experimental analysis of wind turbine blade (HAWT) with recycled carpet waste polymer composite materialBy Rakshapal Singh Rajawat, Rajneesh Kumar Singh
Abstract: The term "carpet" is often used interchangeably with "rug," but there is a technical distinction. Rugs are generally smaller and can be easily moved, while carpets are typically larger and cover a significant portion of the floor. Carpets are commonly used to enhance the comfort of indoor spaces, provide insulation, and contribute to the overall design and atmosphere of a room. Polymer composite materials also known as polymer matrix composites …
