Large wind turbines with a power capacity of 8 MW and blade span diameters of over 160 m are available for electric power genera

tion. Consider a wind turbine with a blade span diameter of 100 m installed at a site subjected to steady winds at 8 m/s. Taking the overall efficiency of the wind turbine to be 44 percent and the air density to be 1.25 kg/m3, determine the electric power generated by this wind turbine. Also, assuming steady winds of 8 m/s during a 24 hour period, determine the amount of electric energy and the revenue generated per day for a unit price of $0.09/kWh for electricity.

Answer:

The electric power generated by the wind turbine is 1105.84 kWh

The amount of electric energy generated is 26540.17 kWh

The revenue generated per day is $2388.62

Explanation:

Consider a wind turbine with a blade

Span diameter of 100 m installed at a site

subjected to steady winds at 8 m/s

l.e wind speed v = 8 m/s

Span diameter d = 100 m

A, sweap area = πd² / 4

                        = π x 100² / 4

                        = 7853.98 m²

Lets solve for wind speed v = 8 m/s

Density of Area ρ = 1.25 kg/m³

η = 44%

P = 1/2 ρAv³η

  = 1/2 x 1.25 x 785.98 x 8³ x 44/100

  = 1/2 x 1.25 x 7853.98 x 512 x 0.44

  = 1105840.38

  = 1.10584038 mw

  = 1105.84038 kWh

  = 1105.84 kWh

Energy generated by wind turbine per day

⇒ P x H

      = 1105.84038 x 24

      = 26540.16912 kwh

      = 26540.17 kwh      

Revenue generated per day = Energy x 0.09 kwh

                                                = 26540.16912 x 0.09

                                                = $2388.615

                                                = $2388.62

Two tugboats pull a disabled supertanker. Each tug exerts a constant force of 2.20×106 N , one at an angle 15.0 ∘ west of north,
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

Explanation:

The force by the tugboats acting on the supertanker is constant and the displacement of the supertanker is along a straight line.

The angle between the 2 forces and displacement is ∅ = 15°.

First we have to calculate the work done by the individual force and then we can calculate the total work.

The work done on a particle by a constant force F during a straight line displacement s is given by following formula:

W = F*s

W = F*s*cos∅

With ∅ = the angles between F and s

The magnitude of the force acting on the supertanker is F of tugboat1 = F of tugboat 2 = F = 2.2 * 10^6 N

The total work done can be calculated as followed:

Wtotal = Ftugboat1 s * cos ∅1 + Ftugboat2 s* cos ∅2

Wtotal = 2Fs*cos∅

Wtotal = 2*2.2*10^6 N * 0.81 *10³ m s *cos15°

Wtotal = 3.44*10^9 Nm = <u>3.44 *10^9 J</u>

<u />

The total work done by the two tugboats on the supertanker is 3.44 *10^9 J

How long will it take a plane to fly 1256km<br> if it travels 500km/hr?
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2.51 s</h3>

Explanation:

The time taken can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{1256}{500}  \\  = 2.512

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.51 s</h3>

The movement of protons through atp synthase occurs from the
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

cytoplasm and channel gates

Explanation:

The movement originates from the cytoplasm. This is the fluid medium through which ions are shuttle from one place to another. However, though simple as it might appear to be, the movement requires carrier proteins. The are proteins that facilitate in the movement of the ions. These proteins have specially controlled gates called channel proteins. These are regulated proteins that open and close based on hydrogen ion concentration. These proteins are able to facilitate the movement of ATP molecules.

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).
