A wind turbine is located at the top of a hill where the wind blows steadily at 12 m/s, and stands 37 m tall. The air then exits

the turbine at 9 m/s and the same elevation. Find the power generated by the wind if the mass flow rate is 137 kg/s. Report your answer in kW and to 2 decimal places.

Answer:

Power generated = 4.315 kW

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

  • speed of wind when enters into the turbine, V = 12 m/s
  • speed of wind when exits from the turbine, U = 9 m/s
  • mass flow rate of the wind, m = 137 kg/s

According to the law of conservation of energy

Energy generated = change in kinetic energy

Since, the air is exiting at same elevation. So, we will consider only kinetic energy.

Energy generated in one second will be given by,

E\ =\ \dfrac{1}{2}.mV^2-\dfrac{1}{2}.m.U^2

   =\ \dfrac{1}{2}\times 137\times (12)^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 137\times (9)^2

   =4315.5 J

   = 4.315 kJ

So, energy is generated in one second = 4.315 kJ

Power generated can be given by,

P\ =\ \dfrac{\textrm{energy generated}}{time}

And the energy is generated is already in per second so power generated will be 4.315 kW.

Gnesinka [82]
Laurie must make 4.5 batches for the school bake sale, and 2 batches for her family. Therefore, in total, Laurie must make 4.5 + 2 = 6.5 batches of cookies.

Since each batch of cookies requires 0.25 pounds of butter, we can multiply that amount by the number of batches baked: 0.25 * 6.5 = 1.625 pounds of butter.

So Laurie uses 1.625 pounds of butter to make all the cookies.

Geometry solve for x​
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: b

Step-by-step explanation: the parallel proportionality theorem states that “if two or more parallel lines are intersected by two transversals, the parallel lines divide the transversals proportionally.” Therefore, you make a ratio and solve:

(4/2)=(6/x) and if you solve, x=3

now, 6+3=9, so 2x-11=9

if you solve for that, x=10

Half of the product of b and c
icang [17]
"Product" signifies multiplication, and "half" means divide by two (or multiply by 1/2). So half the product of b and c is (bc)/2 or (1/2)(bc).
