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

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance that is 60% of the Carnot heat pump coefficient of performance. The heat pump is us
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

Explanation:

COP_max of carnot heat pump= \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H}-T_{C} }

where T_H and T_C are temperatures of hot and cold reservoirs

Also COP=\frac{Q_H}{W}

in the question COP= \frac{60}{100} \times COP_{max}

⇒\frac{Q_H}{W} =\frac{60}{100}\times\frac{T_H}{T_H-T_C}

heat is added directly to be as efficient as via heat pump

Q_H= W

and T_H= 24° C= 297 K

1=\frac{60}{100}\times \frac{297}{297-T_C}

on calculating the above equation we get

T_C=118.8 K

the outdoor temperature for efficient addition of heat to interior of home

T_C=118.8 K= 154.2°C

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

A ball of mass M collides with a stick with moment of inertia I = βml2 (relative to its center, which is its center of mass). Th
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Part a)

v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}

Part b)

v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})

Explanation:

Since the ball and rod is an isolated system and there is no external force on it so by momentum conservation we will have

Mv_o = M v_1 + m v_2

here we also use angular momentum conservation

so we have

M v_o d = M v_1 d + \beta mL^2 \omega

also we know that the collision is elastic collision so we have

v_o = (v_2 + d\omega) - v_1

so we have

\omega = \frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d}

also we know

M v_o d - M v_1 d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_1 - v_2}{d})

also we know

v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2

so we have

M v_o d - M(v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2)d = \beta mL^2(\frac{v_o + v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2 - v_2}{d})

mv_2 d = \beta mL^2\frac{2v_o}{d} - \beta mL^2(1 + \frac{m}{M})\frac{v_2}{d}

now we have

(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})v_2 = \frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}

v_2 = \frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})}

Part b)

Now we know that speed of the ball after collision is given as

v_1 = v_o - \frac{m}{M}v_2

so it is given as

v_1 = v_0 - \frac{m}{M}(\frac{\frac{2\beta mL^2v_o}{d}}{(md + \frac{\beta mL^2}{d}(1 + \frac{m}{M})})
