Increasing the efficiency of a wind turbine is certainly a superior area of research. There is a great need of increasing the velocity of wind that is reaching a wind turbine particularly a horizontal axis wind turbine which in turn helps increasing the efficiency of the wind turbine. In getting a best solution for the problem that is to increase the wind velocity reaching a wind turbine in any direction, we need to fabricate a nozzle particularly a convergent nozzle to step-up the velocity of wind (ambient air that is about to reach the rotor). The wind velocity reaching the wind turbine is studied with and without the nozzle (novel mantle nozzle) for a laboratory model wind turbine as part of study.
