A wind turbine designer is considering installing a horizontal axis wind turbine at a location in Michigan. To increase the powe

r extracted from wind, the designer is debating between increasing the blade radius by 10% versus increasing the height from 40 m to 60 m, which would increase the average wind speed from 6 mph to 6.5 mph. Considering the only the impact on power extraction, the designer should go with the height increase.

Answer:

False ( B )

Explanation:

considering that the wind turbine is a horizontal axis turbine

Power generated/extracted by the turbine can be calculated as

P =  n * 1/2 *<em> p</em> *Av^3

where: n = turbine efficiency

           <em>p = air density </em>

<em>            </em>A = πd^2 / 4

           v =  speed

From the above equation it can seen that increasing the Blade radius by 10% will increase the Blade Area which will in turn increase the value of the power extracted by the wind turbine

asambeis [7]

The roads have pre-described lanes that should follow a particular speed and rules. When a driver drives slowly than he makes the other drivers impatient.

<h3>What are traffic rules?</h3>

Traffic rules are the regulations that are defined to regulate the vehicles and other conveyances that walk on the road. They are different in various places and have separate punishments for not following them.

The left lane of the road is generally for the drivers who want to pass by the vehicle ahead by following the mph rule. If the driver drives slowly then they make the other people impatient and result in honking.

Therefore, the driver driving slowly in the left lane makes others impatient.

When an electrical signal travels through a conductive wire, it produces an electromagnetic (EM) field. Likewise, when an EM fie
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic field wave strikes a conductor, say a wire, it induces an alternating current that is proportional to the wave in the conductor. This is a reversal of generating electromagnetic wave from accelerating a charged particle. This phenomenon is used in radio antena for receiving radio wave signals and also use in medicine for body scanning.

Calculate the load, PP, that would cause AA to be displaced 0.01 inches to the right. The wires ABAB and ACAC are A36 steel and
Nataly [62]

Answer:

P = 4.745 kips

Explanation:

Given

ΔL = 0.01 in

E = 29000 KSI

D = 1/2 in  

LAB = LAC = L = 12 in

We get the area as follows

A = π*D²/4 = π*(1/2 in)²/4 = (π/16) in²

Then we use the formula

ΔL = P*L/(A*E)

For AB:

ΔL(AB) = PAB*L/(A*E) = PAB*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AB) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB

For AC:

ΔL(AC) = PAC*L/(A*E) = PAC*12 in/((π/16) in²*29*10⁶ PSI)

⇒  ΔL(AC) = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC

Now, we use the condition

ΔL = ΔL(AB)ₓ + ΔL(AC)ₓ = ΔL(AB)*Cos 30° + ΔL(AC)*Cos 30° = 0.01 in

⇒  ΔL = (2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAB*Cos 30°+(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*PAC*Cos 30°= 0.01 in

Knowing that   PAB*Cos 30°+PAC*Cos 30° = P

we have

(2.107*10⁻⁶ in/lbf)*P = 0.01 in

⇒  P = 4745.11 lb = 4.745 kips

Tech A says you can find the typical angle of a V-block engine by dividing the number of cylinders by 720
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Tech A is correct

Explanation:

Tech A is right as its V- angle is identified by splitting the No by 720 °. Of the piston at the edge of the piston.

Tech B is incorrect, as the V-Angle will be 720/10 = 72 for the V-10 motor, and he says 60 °.
