The electricity generated by wind turbines annually in kilowatt-hours per year is given in a file. The amount of electricity is

Anika [276]

Answer:

Steps:

1. Create a text file that contains blade diameter (in feet), wind velocity (in mph) and the approximate electricity generated for the year

2. load the data file for example, in matlab, use ('fileame.txt') to load the file

3. create variables from each column of your data

for example, in matlab,

x=t{1}

y=t{2}

4. plot the wind velocity and electricity generated.

plot(x, y)

5. Label the individual axis and name the graph title.

title('Graph of wind velocity vs approximate electricity generated for the year')

xlabel('wind velocity')

ylabel('approximate electricity generated for the year')

Air at 293k and 1atm flow over a flat plate at 5m/s. The plate is 5m wide and 6m long. (a) Determine the boundary layer thicknes

loris [4]

Answer:

a). 8.67 x $10^{-3}$ m

b).0.3011 m

c).0.0719 m

d).0.2137 N

e).1.792 N

Explanation:

Given :

Temperature of air, T = 293 K

Air Velocity, U = 5 m/s

Length of the plate is L = 6 m

Width of the plate is b = 5 m

Therefore Dynamic viscosity of air at temperature 293 K is, μ = 1.822 X $10^{-5}$ Pa-s

We know density of air is ρ = 1.21 kg / $m^{3}$

Now we can find the Reyonld no at x = 1 m from the leading edge

Re = $\frac{\rho .U.x}{\mu }$

Re = $\frac{1.21 \times 5\times 1}{1.822\times 10^{-5} }$

Re = 332052.6

Therefore the flow is laminar.

Hence boundary layer thickness is

δ = $\frac{5.x}{\sqrt{Re}}$

= $\frac{5\times 1}{\sqrt{332052.6}}$

= 8.67 x $10^{-3}$ m

a). Boundary layer thickness at x = 1 is δ = 8.67 X $10^{-3}$ m

b). Given Re = 100000

Therefore the critical distance from the leading edge can be found by,

Re = $\frac{\rho .U.x}{\mu }$

100000 = $\frac{1.21\times5\times x}{1.822 \times10^{-5}}$

x = 0.3011 m

c). Given x = 3 m from the leading edge

The Reyonld no at x = 3 m from the leading edge

Re = $\frac{\rho .U.x}{\mu }$

Re = $\frac{1.21 \times 5\times 3}{1.822\times 10^{-5} }$

Re = 996158.06

Therefore the flow is turbulent.

Therefore for a turbulent flow, boundary layer thickness is

δ = $\frac{0.38\times x}{Re^{\frac{1}{5}}}$

= $\frac{0.38\times 3}{996158.06^{\frac{1}{5}}}$

= 0.0719 m

d). Distance from the leading edge upto which the flow will be laminar,

Re = $\frac{\rho \times U\times x}{\mu }$

5 X $10^{5}$ = $\frac{1.21 \times 5\times x}{1.822\times 10^{-5}}}$

x = 1.505 m

We know that the force acting on the plate is

$F_{D}$ = $\frac{1}{2}\times C_{D}\times \rho \times A\times U^{2}$

and $C_{D}$ at x= 1.505 for a laminar flow is = $\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re}}$

= $\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{5\times10 ^{5}}}$

= 1.878 x $10^{-3}$

Therefore, $F_{D}$ = $\frac{1}{2}\times C_{D}\times \rho \times A\times U^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 1.878\times 10^{-3}\times 1.21\times (5\times 1.505)\times 5^{2}$

= 0.2137 N

e). The flow is turbulent at the end of the plate.

Re = $\frac{\rho \times U\times x}{\mu }$

= $\frac{1.21 \times 5\times 6}{1.822\times 10^{-5} }$

= 1992316

Therefore $C_{D}$ = $\frac{0.072}{Re^{\frac{1}{5}}}$

= $\frac{0.072}{1992316^{\frac{1}{5}}}$

= 3.95 x $10^{-3}$

Therefore $F_{D}$ = $\frac{1}{2}\times C_{D}\times \rho\times A\times U^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 3.95\times 10^{-3}\times 1.21\times (5\times 6)\times 5^{2}$

= 1.792 N
