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

A tank with some water in it begins to drain. The function v ( t ) = 46 − 3.5 t determines the volume of the water in the tank (
olchik [2.2K]

Answer with Explanation:

Part a)

The volume of water in the tank as a function of time is plotted in the below attached figure.

The vertical intercept of the graph is 46.

Part b)

The vertical intercept represents the volume of water that is initially present in the tank before draining begins.

Part c)

To find the time required to completely drain the tank we calculate the volume of the water in the tank to zero.

0=46-3.5t\\\\3.5=46\\\\\therefore t=\frac{46}{3.5}=13.143minutes

Part d)

The horizontal intercept represents the time it takes to empty the tank which as calculated above is 13.143 minutes.

technician a says that the higher the gear selected the more torque is available. technician b says that a transaxle contains ge
umka21 [38]

Technician A is correct. Technician B is wrong because a gear's transmission is used to increase or decrease torque.

The relation torque is relying on multiplying the circumferential detail with the resource of the usage of the radius; massive gears experience a greater amount of torque, at the same time as smaller gears experience a great deal much less torque. Similarly, the torque ratio is equal to the ratio of the gears' radii. A gear's transmission torque modifications as it will boom or decreases speed. Commonly, with the resource of the usage of lowering the speed, a small torque on the doorway issue is transferred as a massive torque at the output issue. The calculation of torque is quantified with the resource of the usage of an extensive form of teeth.

A person holds her hand out of an open car window while the car drives through still air at 65 mph. Under standard atmospheric c
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

10.8\ \text{lb/ft^2}

101.96\ \text{lb/ft}^2

Explanation:

v_1 = Velocity of car = 65 mph = 65\times \dfrac{5280}{3600}=95.33\ \text{ft/s}

\rho = Density of air = 0.00237\ \text{slug/ft}^3

v_2=0

P_1=0

h_1=h_2

From Bernoulli's law we have

P_1+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+h_1=P_2+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+h_2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00237\times 95.33^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=10.8\ \text{lb/ft^2}

The maximum pressure on the girl's hand is 10.8\ \text{lb/ft^2}

Now v_1 = 200 mph = 200\times \dfrac{5280}{3600}=293.33\ \text{ft/s}

P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.00237\times 293.33^2\\\Rightarrow P_2=101.96\ \text{lb/ft}^2

The maximum pressure on the girl's hand is 101.96\ \text{lb/ft}^2
