Answer:
investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .
Explanation:
given data
sum = $500,000
rate = 12% =0.12
total time = 10 year
solution
as present value After 2 years from now is $500,000
so time period is now = 8 year ( 10 - 2 )
so we apply future value formula that is
Future value = present value × ............1
put here value we get
Future value = $500,000 ×
Future value = $500,000 × 2.476
Future value = $1,238,000
so investment 10 years from now is $1,238,000 .
Answer:
The radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft
The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m
Explanation:
Given;
power generation potential (PGP) = 1000 kW
Wind speed = 5 mph = 2.2352 m/s
Density of air = 0.0796 lbm/ft³ = 1.275 kg/m³
Radius of the wind turbine r = ?
Wind energy per unit mass of air, e = E/m = 0.5 v² = (0.5)(2.2352)²
Wind energy per unit mass of air = 2.517 J/kg
PGP = mass flow rate * energy per unit mass
PGP = ρ*A*V*e
r = 210.64 m = 691.1 ft
Thus, the radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft
PGP = CVᵃ
For best design of wind turbine Betz limit (c) is taken between (0.35 - 0.45)
Let C = 0.4
PGP = Cvᵃ
take log of both sides
ln(PGP) = a*ln(CV)
a = ln(PGP)/ln(CV)
a = ln(1000)/ln(0.4 *2.2352) = 7.73
The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m
