Explanation:
The wind is an actual form of solar energy. winds are caused by the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the earth, and the earth's surface irregularities. The wind is capture in a wind turbine which provides a renewable energy source, the wind makes the rotor spin, as the rotor spins the movement of the blades drives a generator that creates energy, also known as wind power. The average wind efficiency of turbines is between 35-45%.
Advantages of wind power
- Wind power is cost-effective
- wind creates jobs
- wind enables US industry growth and US competitiveness
-it's a clean fuel source
Answer:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
Please kindly see explaination and attachment.
Explanation:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.
Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.
Please refer to attachment for step by step solution of the question.
Answer:
B) Process
Explanation:
In thermodynamics a process is a passage of a thermodynamic system from an initial to a final state of thermodynamic equilibrium.
A thermodynamic process path is the series of states through which a system passes from an initial to a final state.
Cycle is a process in which initial and final state are identical.
