At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power ge

neration potential of a wind turbine with 70-m-diameter blades at that location. Also determine the actual electric power generation assuming an overall efficiency of the wind turbine to be 30 percent. Take the air density to be 1.25 kg/m^3.

Answer:

<em>a) 50 J/kg</em>

<em>b) 721 67 KW</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The velocity of the wind v = 10 m/s

diameter of the blades d = 70 m

efficiency of the turbine η = 30%

density of air ρ = 1.25 kg/m^3

The area of the blade A = \pi d^2/4

A = \frac{3.142 * 70^2}{4} = 3848.95 m^2

The mechanical energy air per unit mass is gives as

e = v^2/2 = \frac{10^2}{2} = <em>50 J/kg</em>

<em></em>

Theoretical Power of the turbine P = ρAve

where

ρ is the density of air

A is the area of the blade

v is the velocity of the wind

e is the energy per unit mass

substituting values, we have

P = 1.25 x 3848.95 x 10 x 50 = 2405593.75 W

Actual power = ηP

where η is the efficiency of the turbine

P is the theoretical power of the turbine

Actual power = 0.3 x 2405593.75 = 721678.1 W

==> <em>721 67 KW</em>

A 10.2 mm diameter steel circular rod is subjected to a tensile load that reduces its cross- sectional area to 52.7 mm^2. Determ
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

The percentage ductility is 35.5%.

Explanation:

Ductility is the ability of being deform under applied load. Ductility can measure by percentage elongation and percentage reduction in area. Here, percentage reduction in area method is taken to measure the ductility.

Step1

Given:

Diameter of shaft is 10.2 mm.

Final area of the shaft is 52.7 mm².

Calculation:

Step2

Initial area is calculated as follows:

A=\frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

A=\frac{\pi\times(10.2)^{2}}{4}

A = 81.713 mm².

Step3

Percentage ductility is calculated as follows:

D=\frac{A_{i}-A_{f}}{A_{i}}\times100

D=\frac{81.713-52.7}{81.713}\times100

D = 35.5%.

Thus, the percentage ductility is 35.5%.
