The design and fabrication of a free flowing water turbine for UiTM-PERHILITAN Research Center Taman Negara / Muhammad Zul Hilmi Asmad.

Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) associated with PERHILITAN had established the UiTM-PERHILITAN Research Centre, located at Kuala Keniam, Taman Negara Pahang. The research centre located 25km upstream of Tembeling River, only accessible using boat. Although the loca-tion is strategic for geological,...
