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.

Turn 0.272727... into a fraction
kherson [118]

Answer:

0.272727… = 27/99

Step-by-step explanation:

(since 27 is the repeating part of the decimal and it contains 2 digits). We can reduce this fraction (a process that we'll talk more about in a future article) by noticing that we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 9 to get 0.272727… = 27/99 = 3/11.

Least to greatest -2, -3/4, -0.45, 3%, 0.36
Crank

Answer:

\large\boxed{-2,\ -\dfrac{3}{4},\ -0.45,\ 3\%,\ 0.36}

Step-by-step explanation:

We convert some numbers to decimal fractions:

-2 = -2.00

-3/4 = -0.75

-0.45

3% = 0.03

0.36

We order

-2, -0.75, -0.45, 0.03, 0.36

\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot25}{4\cdot25}=\frac{75}{100}=0.75

other method

\dfrac{3}{4}=3:4=0.75        (use a calculator)

p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to 3\%=\dfrac{3}{100}=0.03

What’s the answer for the formula question
Luda [366]

Answer: N = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

M = 3N + 4R

M = 43

R = 7

Replacing by the values

43 = 3N + 4*7

43 = 3N + 28

43-28 = 3N

3N = 15

N = 15/3

N = 5
