German physicist Albert Betz (in 1919) demonstrated that the highest efficiency you can achieve with a wind turbine is around 59%
We would have to analyze the design of an specific turbine to determine its efficiency, however it is unlikely to achieve 50% , as todays turbines have an average efficiency in the 20-35%
The answer would be around 25%
Answer:
28.23 years
Explanation:
I = 1100 A
L = 230 km = 230, 000 m
diameter = 2 cm
radius, r = 1 cm = 0.01 m
Area, A = 3.14 x 0.01 x 0.01 = 3.14 x 10^-4 m^2
n = 8.5 x 10^28 per cubic metre
Use the relation
I = n e A vd
vd = I / n e A
vd = 1100 / (8.5 x 10^28 x 1.6 x 10^-19 x 3.14 x 10^-4)
vd = 2.58 x 10^-4 m/s
Let time taken is t.
Distance = velocity x time
t = distance / velocity = L / vd
t = 230000 / (2.58 x 10^-4) = 8.91 x 10^8 second
t = 28.23 years
We know that momentum = mass times velocity
So a. 720 kgm/s
