g The electric power needs of a community are to be met by windmills with 40-m-diameter rotors. The windmills are to be located

where the wind is blowing steadily at an average velocity of 6 m/s. Determine the minimum number of windmills that need to be installed if the required power output is 2100 kW. The gas constant of air is 0.287 kPa·m3/kg·K.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given Data

The diameter of the wind mills is d = 40m

Velocity of the air is V = 6 m / s

Required power output is:  P ₀ = 2100 k W

Expression to calculate the exergy of the air is

E = V ² / 2

Substitute the value in above expression

E = ( 6 m / s ) ² / 2

E = 18 m ² / s ² x (1kJ/kg / 1000m²/s²)

E = 0.018 k J / k g

Expression to calculate the density of the air is

P v =m R T

m /v = P  /RT ⋯ ⋯( I )

Here  

m  is the mass of the air,  

v  is the volume of the air,  

P  is the atmospheric pressure,  

T  is the standard temperature at the atmospheric pressure and  

R  is the gas constant

As the density is

ρ = m /V

Substitute the value in expression (I)

ρ = 101  kP a /( 0.287 k J / k g ⋅ K ) ( 298 K )

ρ = 1.180 k g / m ²

Expression to calculate the mass flow rate is

m = ρ A V ⋯ ⋯ ( I I )

Here  A  is the area of the windmill

Expression to calculate the  A  is

A = π /4  d ²

Substitute the value in above expression

A = π /4 ( 40 m ²)

A = 1256.63 m ²

Substitute the value in expression (II)

m = ( 1.180 k g / m ³) ( 1256.63 m ²) ( 6 m / s )

m = 8896.94  k g / s

Expression to calculate the maximum power available to the windmill is

P w = m ( V ² /2 )

Substitute the value in above expression

P w = 8896.94  k g / s ( (6m/s)²/2 )

P w = 160144.92 W  × ( 1 W /1000 k W )

P w = 160.144 k W

Expression to calculate the number of windmills required is

n = P o /P w

Substitute the value in above expression

n=2100kw/160.144kw

n=13.11

Identify the palindromic base sequence in the DNA donor molecule shown.
Airida [17]

Explanation:

Since a double helix is formed by two paired antiparallel strands of nucleotides that run in opposite directions, and the nucleotides always pair in the same way (adenine (A) with thymine (T) in DNA or uracil (U) in RNA; cytosine (C) with guanine (G)), a (single-stranded) nucleotide sequence is said to be a palindrome

Cortez's workout plan involves a total of 65 minutes of running and swimming. He burns 15 calories per minute when running and 6
shutvik [7]

Answer:

E=9r+390

Explanation:

<u>Function Modeling </u>

We can express the relations between different variables and magnitudes in mathematics formulas. This allows us to better manipulate the field data and even make predictions and take decisions out of them.

We know Cortez spends a total of 65 minutes of running and swimming. Let's call r the minutes of running and s the minutes of swimming. The first condition implies that

r+s=65

Or, equivalently

s=65-r

The energy burnt when running are 15 calories per minute. It means that he burns 15r in r minutes. Similarly, Cortez burns 6s calories when swimming. The total energy he burns is

E=15r+6s

Replacing the formula for s, we get

E=15r+6(65-r)

\boxed{E=9r+390}

That formula gives the total calories Cortez burns in r minutes of running
