Answer:
The radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft
The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m
Explanation:
Given;
power generation potential (PGP) = 1000 kW
Wind speed = 5 mph = 2.2352 m/s
Density of air = 0.0796 lbm/ft³ = 1.275 kg/m³
Radius of the wind turbine r = ?
Wind energy per unit mass of air, e = E/m = 0.5 v² = (0.5)(2.2352)²
Wind energy per unit mass of air = 2.517 J/kg
PGP = mass flow rate * energy per unit mass
PGP = ρ*A*V*e
r = 210.64 m = 691.1 ft
Thus, the radius of a wind turbine is 691.1 ft
PGP = CVᵃ
For best design of wind turbine Betz limit (c) is taken between (0.35 - 0.45)
Let C = 0.4
PGP = Cvᵃ
take log of both sides
ln(PGP) = a*ln(CV)
a = ln(PGP)/ln(CV)
a = ln(1000)/ln(0.4 *2.2352) = 7.73
The power generation potential (PGP) scales with speed at the rate of 7.73 kW.s/m
Answer:
0.0406 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
Diameter of the tube, D = 25 mm = 0.025 m
cross-sectional area of the tube = (π/4)D² = (π/4)(0.025)² = 4.9 × 10⁻⁴ m²
Mass flow rate = 0.01 kg/s
Now,
the mass flow rate is given as:
mass flow rate = ρAV
where,
ρ is the density of the water = 1000 kg/m³
A is the area of cross-section of the pipe
V is the average velocity through the pipe
thus,
0.01 = 1000 × 4.9 × 10⁻⁴ × V
or
V = 0.0203 m/s
also,
Reynold's number, Re =
where,
ν is the kinematic viscosity of the water = 0.833 × 10⁻⁶ m²/s
thus,
Re =
or
Re = 611.39 < 2000
thus,
the flow is laminar
hence,
the maximum velocity = 2 × average velocity = 2 × 0.0203 m/s
or
maximum velocity = 0.0406 m/s
