Windmills slow the air and cause it to fill a larger channel as it passes through the blades. Consider a circular windmill with

a D1 = 8m diameter rotor in a V1 = 12m/s wind. The wind speed after the windmill is measured at 8 m/s. (a) (7 pt) Determine the diameter of the wind channel downstream from the rotor (D2). (b) (8 pt) Calculate the power produced by this windmill in kW. Assume air is incompressible and use air density of 1.2kg/m3 .

Answer:

DIAMETER  = 9.797 m

POWER = \dot W = 28.6 kW

Explanation:

Given data:

circular windmill diamter D1 = 8m

v1 = 12 m/s

wind speed = 8 m/s

we know that specific volume is given as

v =\frac{RT}{P}

  where v is specific volume of air

considering air pressure is 100 kPa and temperature 20 degree celcius

v =  \frac{0.287\times 293}{100}

v = 0.8409 m^3/ kg

from continuity equation

A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2

\frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_1 = \frac{\pi}{4}D_1^2 V_2

D_2 = D_1 \sqrt{\frac{V_1}{V_2}}

D_2 = 8 \times \sqrt{\frac{12}{8}}

D_2 = 9.797 m

mass flow rate is given as

\dot m = \frac{A_1 V_1}{v} = \frac{\pi 8^2\times 12}{4\times 0.8049}

\dot m = 717.309 kg/s

the power produced \dot W = \dot m \frac{ V_1^2 - V_2^2}{2} = 717.3009 [\frac{12^2 - 8^2}{2} \times \frac{1 kJ/kg}{1000 m^2/s^2}]

\dot W = 28.6 kW

6. During some actual expansion and compression processes in piston–cylinder devices, the gases have been
Katyanochek1 [597]

During some actual expansion and compression processes in piston-cylinder devices, the gases have been are the P1= P2.

<h3>What is the pressure?</h3>

Pressure is something that has the pressure that is physical and that causes the pressure is piston-cylinder devices.

During a few real enlargements and compression procedures in piston-cylinder devices, the gases were located to meet the connection PV n = C, wherein n and C are constants.

Who can use NIST resources?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Federal agencies

Explanation:

NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) also called between 1901 and 1988 National Bureau of Standards (NBS), it is an agency of the Technology Administration of the United States Department of Commerce. The mission of this institute is to promote innovation and industrial competition in the United States through advances in metrology, standards and technology in ways that improve economic stability and quality of life.

As part of this mission, NIST scientists and engineers continually refine the science of measurement (metrology) by creating precise engineering and manufacturing required for most current technological advances. They are also directly involved in the development and testing of standards made by the private sector and government agencies. The NIST was originally called the National Bureau of Standards (NBS), a name it had from 1901 to 1988. The progress and technological innovation of the United States depends on the abilities of the NIST, especially if we talk about four areas: biotechnology , nanotechnology, information technologies and advanced manufacturing.
