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

uysha [10]

100000 Pascal

Explanation:

pressure= force/area

Max pressure= force/min area

so f=5

min area= 5×10^-5

5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal

Productivity increases when A. inputs increase while outputs remain the same. B. inputs decrease while outputs remain the same.
Blizzard [7]

Answer: Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately.

Explanation:

Productivity increases when inputs and outputs increase proportionately. Input has to be directly proportional to output to be productive. This means increase in input to a system must leads to drastic increase in the output. When the output is not balanced with the amount of input, it leads to unproductivity.

Being productive can be business wise or in terms if personal growth and development.

Which of the following best describes how galaxies exist in the universe?
anzhelika [568]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. Galaxies exist in the universe as they  form clusters that are light-years away from other clusters. Other choices are really far away from the truth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
