At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 9 m/s. Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power gen

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The specific mechanical energy of the air in the specific location is 40.5 J/kg.
The power generation potential of the wind turbine at such place is of 2290 kW
The actual electric power generation is 687 kW

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of the air per unit mass is the specific kinetic energy of the air that is calculated using: $\frac{1}{2} V^2$ where V is the velocity of the air.
The specific kinetic energy would be: $\frac{1}{2}(9\frac{m}{s})^2=40.5\frac{m^2}{s^2}=40.5\frac{m^2 }{s^2}\frac{kg}{kg}=40.5\frac{N*m }{kg}=40.5\frac{J}{kg}$ .
The power generation of the wind turbine would be obtained from the product of the mechanical energy of the air times the mass flow that moves the turbine.
To calculate mass flow it is required first to calculate the volumetric flow. To calculate the volumetric flow the next expression would be: $\frac{V\pi D_{blade}^2}{4} =\frac{9\frac{m}{s}\pi(80m)^2}{4} =45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}$
Then the mass flow is obtain from the volumetric flow times the density of the air: $m_{flow}=1.25\frac{kg}{m^3}45238.9\frac{m^3}{s}=56548.7\frac{kg}{s}$
Then, the Power generation potential is: $40.5\frac{J}{kg} 56548.7\frac{kg}{s} =2290221W=2290.2kW$
The actual electric power generation is calculated using the definition of efficiency: $\eta=\frac{E_P}{E_I}}$ , where η is the efficiency, $E_P$ is the energy actually produced and, $E_I$ is the energy input. Then solving for the energy produced: $E_P=\eta*E_I=0.30*2290kW=687kW$

How does the thickness of the lens affects its focal length plz ans this i will mark as brainliest

Oksanka [162]

Hello! :)

The focal length of the lens tells you how far away from the lens a focused image is created, if light rays approaching the lens are parallel. A lens with more “bending power” has a shorter focal length, because it alters the path of the light rays more effectively than a weaker lens. Most of the time, you can treat a lens as being thin and ignore any effects from the thickness, because the thickness of the lens is much less than the focal length. But for thicker lenses, how thick they are does make a difference, and in general, results in a shorter focal length.

Hope I helped and didn’t answer too late!

Good luck and stay COOL!

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, $\Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m$

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}$

$d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m$

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}$

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}$

So,

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}$

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}$

$\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m$

or

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
